PLASMONIC MICROPILLAR ARRAY WITH EMBEDDED NANOPARTICLES FOR LARGE AREA CELL FORCE SENSING

摘要

In various embodiments a plasmonic cell force sensor platform is provided where the platform comprises a plurality of micropillars, where micropillars comprising the plurality of micropillars each have a nanoparticle (e.g., a plasmonic nanoparticle, a fluorescent nanoparticle, etc.) disposed at the tip.
