Den presenterte metoden innebærer uniaxial strekking av 3D myke hydrogeler innebygd i silikongummi samtidig som levende konfokal mikroskopi tillates. Karakterisering av ytre og indre hydrogelstammer samt fiberjustering er demonstrert. Enheten og protokollen som er utviklet, kan vurdere cellenes respons på ulike strekkregimer.
