A schematic representation of the BMC and its multimode operation [143]. (A) BMC filled with bacteria supported on a silicon substrate; (B) SEM image of the cross section of an inlet; (C) cross section of microchannel on BMC modified with mAb or AMP; (D) fluorescent image from the top side of the BMC, filled with bacteria; (E) SEM image of the tip of the BMC; (F) deflection of BMC caused by heat when bacteria absorb infrared light; (G) resonance frequency changes with the quality of bacteria; (H) selective absorption of infrared light by bacteria.
