The device is not shown to scale. Liquid with suspended organisms is held in a cylindrical container, with a narrow flow chamber in the bottom compartment. Liquid is drawn into the chamber on the sides and pumped out from a central tube. This creates an axisymmetric Jeffery–Hamel flow (Supplementary equation 29). a, Three-dimensional diagram of the experimental setup. b, Side view and schematic of flow profile. The organism (green) is stretched because the anterior flow is stronger than the posterior flow (Supplementary equation 33).
