Dynamic Response of Swimming Paramecium Induced by Local Stimulation Using a Threadlike-Microtool

In this letter, an approach for realizing local area stimulation of single motile microorganism (Paramecium) by a microtool is described. In order to overcome the hydrodynamic drag force acting on the thin and long tool in the fluidic environment, a magnetic compensation approach to improve the posi
