Abstract

We present an octupole electrocage microchip designed to rotate biological cells. The device consists of two sets of four planar electrodes fabricated on glass wafers and separated by a 60-μm-thick negative photoresist layer incorporating a microfluidic channel for cell delivery and retrieval. By application of high frequency AC voltages with appropriate phase lags, the electrocage can rotate live or fixed single cells or cell clusters about a stationary axis in the focal plane, i.e. perpendicular to the optical axis. When coupled with an imaging platform, isotropic 3D images with submicron resolution can be reconstructed from hundreds of projections acquired from various angles as cells are rotated.
