(Fife, GB), Kronenberg, Nils (Fife, GB), Liehm, Philipp (Fife, GB), filed on November 9, 2015, was published online on August 8, 2023, according to news reporting originating from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx correspondents. A method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising varying the wavelengths of the light transmitted into the optical cavity and detecting the light emitted from the optical cavity as the function of the wavelengths. Cell movement is usually based on polymerisation of parts of the cytoskeleton at the leading edge, e.g. actin, and depolymerisation at the other end of the cell. [Extracted from the article]
