Abstract
In this study, a method of sensing is specifically developed to detect dynamic characteristics in three dimensional minute living bodies. Experimental studies have been carried out by using the killifish's egg cell and rabbit's articular cartilage. Micro wire plastic needle was bonded on the tip of the sensor viblator so as to detect dynamic characteristics of the cells and tissues. The sensor was controlled by micromanipulator system, while dimensions and morphologies of the cells were measured by inverted phase-contract microscope system connected to a CCD video camera.
