Den presenterade metoden innebär enaxial sträckning av 3D mjuka hydrogeler inbäddade i silikongummi samtidigt som levande konfokal mikroskopi tillåts. Karakterisering av de yttre och inre hydrogelstammarna samt fiberjustering demonstreras. Enheten och protokollet som utvecklats kan bedöma cellernas reaktion på olika stamregimer.
