FIGURE 7: Temperature and the chemical gradients were generated in a single microfluidic device to study the combined effect of thermotaxis and chemotaxis in bacteria. (i) Schematic diagram of the device integrated with an infrared thermal camera-mounted microscope. (ii) Schematic diagram illustrating how the device generates chemical and thermal gradient across channel under investigation with cells. (iii) The microfluidic device used in the experiment. Reproduced from [23].
