This paper presented the three-dimensional oocyte manipulation system for the two-electrode voltage clamp (TEVC) experiment under stereomicroscopy. We firstly developed a sequential calibration method to correlate the workspace of the stereomicroscopy with the image and the micromanipulator. Even th…
A microactuator that exhibited the variable stiffness function and the strain control was demonstrated by using the shape memory alloy (SMA), shape memory polymer (SMP), and the strain-sensitive stretchable heater polymer of multi-walled carbon nanotube/ionic liquid (IL): polydimethylsiloxane. The S
The automation of the experimental process and evaluation method is required to screen chemical substances in the fields of biology and chemistry. In the case with biological evaluations, the automation of the mechanical probing has been considered, but the measurement method should possess versatil
