(A) Electrode flow cell design used in this study (B) Zoomed-in view of flow cell where 5 electrodes converge (C) MTs imaged using Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope equipped with a 40x objective; excitation wavelength was 592 nm after MT-containing electrolyte was introduced into flow cell; image focused at the top of the flow cell above the electrodes, which are not visible (D) Same as (C) but image focused on electrode plane (E) 3D model of the electrode flow cell in (A) and (B). 45/10 nm Pt/Ti electrodes (yellow) are printed on the surface of a 1.1 mm thick borosilicate wafer (gray). A 0.15 mm coverslip (white) is placed on top of two pieces of double-sided tape (blue) to create a flow cell with a channel gap of 50 µm width. There is a 14 μm gap between electrodes 2 and 4 which have a length of 30 μm.
