Very interesting pictures! Do you have a video of this? :'Some open like a gate to allow cells to enter, then close again.' I've never seen that before.
In the hydrogels pictures where there are 4 pictures: is the hydrogel in the bottom right corner maybe shrunk? I've only seen that type of hydrogel once in my own samples, when it dilated from the heat of the lens, then shrunk back. Otherwise all other hydrogels spread, never withdrawn. Maybe this gel in the picture is like that?
Hi MZ,
you can buy a darkfield patch kit for 30 odd $ and see more.
Best regards, matt.
Ha ha, I actually made one - from a disc of packaging plastic and a 17mm disc of black tape.
Works fine - amazing viewing improvement, wanting 100x objective bad now.
