Extended Data Figure S4. Cell cleavage measured at 1 millisecond time resolution.

Extended Data Figure S4

The time required for cell cleavage was measured at a 1 kHz rate by constantly measuring the height of a single point on top of the PCF. Two representative examples are shown. The cleavage event corresponds to an abrupt drop in the height profile (grey shading). Cleavage is completed within 21 milliseconds (upper panel) or 15 milliseconds (lower panel) and no gradual constriction is observed leading up to this event (flat line).
