FIGURE 2: — Optical image of SMCs attached to nanonets. (A) I-O force measurement in parallel shapes on two and three-fiber groups, and (B) O-I of single cell stretched by two probes on either side (black circles). Red arrows show representative fused-fiber intersections. Experimental measurements are shown only for the O-I case. The dashed white line represents the undeflected position of the fiber and δ_a, δ_b, a, and b the physical measurements made to estimate cell forces.
