Figure 6

(a) Fluorescence micrograph of mixing chamber without magnetic particles. No mixing enhancement occurs and the mixing relies solely on diffusion. (b) Fluorescence micrograph of mixing chamber with non-rotating magnetic particles. Mixing is enhanced but not complete using this configuration. (c) Fluorescence micrograph of mixing chamber with rotating magnetic particles. Efficient mixing is observed using this configuration.

(d) Mixing enhancements observed over time when using magnetically actuated artificial cilia for three separate cilia trajectories.
