SMORES: a simple microfluidic operating room for the examination and surgery of Stentor coeruleus

Abstract Ciliates are powerful unicellular model organisms that have been used to elucidate fundamental biological processes. However, the high motility of ciliates presents a major challenge in studies using live-cell microscopy and microsurgery. While various immobilization methods have been devel...
