Temperature Gradient System V T
Temperature Gradient Device 50 µ m 1 Meter 0ºC 100,000ºC Trapping Pillars Heating Element
Cell Division Time Lapse Trapping Control Test Pillars ● no temp. gradient ● conducted at room Heating Element temp. Complement of Eric Terry
Timing of Cellular Division
Conclusion ● Control test successful in the device ● 5°C temperature gradient ● Does the temperature gradient affect organism development?
