Figure 1.
Experimental setup for estimating the adhesion strength between mast cells and neurites. (a) Schematic spatial relation between a femtosecond laser and a targeted mast cell adhering to a neurite. A matrigel-coated glass substrate was set on the microscope stage. (b) Schematic of the local force measurement system using an AFM. (c) Coordinates in the impulsive-force quantification using the local-force-measurement system. To see this figure in color, go online.
