Layout of the experiment. The piezoelectric transducer generates a standing ultrasound field in the cuvette, which directly excites microbubbles adsorbed at the bottom and indirectly leads to streaming flow around solid particles. An inverted microscope with phase-contrast capability observes the ensuing flow and the motion of suspended vesicles or cells from below, through the use of a high-speed camera.
