Schematic diagram of the hanging drop technique proposed for the first time by Harrison in 1907 [3]. In this method, a droplet of medium containing suspended cells (shown as dark red spots) is placed on a coverslip that is inverted to allow the falling of the drop in the concave well of the microscope slide. Cells aggregate due to gravitational forces and finally form spheroids.
