Notes:
Summary Cultured cells are grown on flexible plastic substrates (e.g., Formvar, polycarbonate, Teflon) which can be folded to form a cell-lined edge. Once folded, the substrate is incubated in growth medium within a simple viewing chamber constructed from a glass slide and a cover slip. By examining the folded edge with a light microscope, one can image, with good resolution, large numbers of cell profiles.
