Description

Cell functionality is an active area of research, but many challenges arise due to the complexity of the processes involved. While techniques that provide information about the mechanical properties and/or dynamics of cells exist, they often rely on single point measurements or have limited acquisition speed. To overcome these limitations, I introduce the Rheoscat microscope. This system uses random motion of cells to extract information about intracellular dynamics by illuminating the cell with a 780 nm laser and analysing the fluctuations in the scattering signal. The system was successful in detecting motion reduction in cells treated with PFA compared to healthy cells.
