Confocal Images of Microcarriers

Movie

1. Spatial Structure of the Channel in one microcarrier (352 KB)

What will be shown is a series of optical sections through a gelatin macroporous microcarrier. The material of microcarrier was labelled with a fluorescent dye. The dark area inside the microcarrier is occupied by pores. The section starts at the top and moves into the middle of the microcarrier.

2. Rotation of the Channel (460 KB)

The material (or the structure) of the microcarrier is removed, so that the pores can be seen. An ideal macroporous microcarrier should have large pores, high pore volume and many accessible openings. The video shows the pores of a microcarrier. It is rotated for viewing from different angles.
