Cardiomyocytes

Caption

This scanning electron microscope image of cardiomyocyte cells cultured on an array of electro-plasmonic nanoantennae shows the considerable size difference between loaded nanoantennas (height 45 nm, diameter 90 nm) and electrogenic cells. On this device, 2.25 million electro-plasmonic nanoantennae are incorporated on a transparent substrate with nanometer spatial resolution, allowing measurement of electric-field dynamics over a large surface area.
