Figure 10: Process of manipulating the probe.
From: Study of the tensile properties of individual multicellular fibres generated by Bacillus subtilis
(a)The sensing probe is moved to the free end of a fibre. (b,c) The probe is lifted until the tip is detached from the liquid surface. (d) The whole system is kept stationary until the suspension evaporates. (e) The probe is lowered to recover the fibre in the horizontal plane.
