Fluidics
- Particle Orientation and
Deformation
•As cells (or other particles)
are hydrodynamically focused, they experience
different shear stresses on different points on their surfaces (an
in different locations in the stream)
•These cause cells to
orient with their long axis (if any) along the axis of flow
