a Bright-field and fluorescent images showing the distribution of fluorescent nanobeads encapsulated in an ISME and magnetic microsphere removal at 70 s. Scale bar: 500 μm. b Intensity maps representing the distribution of fluorescent nanobeads before and after magnetic microsphere separation at 60 and 70 s, respectively. c Bright-field and fluorescent images illustrating the dissolution of fluorescent-stained cells encapsulated in the ISME and magnetic microsphere removal at 30 s; cell proliferation is shown over 3 days of cultivation. Scale bar: 500 μm. d Gray-scale image representing the cell distribution on day 0 and quantification of the distances of the cells from the distribution center, which is evaluated in the histogram. Scale bar: 500 μm. Source data is provided as a Source Data file.
