File Name : vids1.avi Caption : video s1 | deformation and recovery of hela membrane. time-lapse video of an afm tip as it approaches and deforms a hela cell membrane (green) for 5 seconds, followed by afm retraction and cell membrane recovery. imaging occurs within a plane just below the apical membrane. File Name : vids2.avi Caption : video s2 | fast recovering hela membrane. time-lapse video showing hela cell fast recovery. following removal of the afm tip, the cell membrane recovers near-instantaneously. arrow indicates deformed region. File Name : vids3.avi Caption : video s3 | slow recovering hela membrane. time-lapse video showing hela cell slow recovery. following removal of the afm tip, the cell membrane recovers much slower than observed in vids2. arrow indicates deformed region.
