The height of the chambers is 50 μm, thus confining the cells in a monolayer. Each inlet is a 50 μL reservoir and the chambers have the following dimensions: 5 mm (length) × 1 mm (width) × 50 μm (height). An immunostaining of a 10-days-old hippocampal neuronal network is also shown. The following dye and primary antibodies were used: DAPI (nucleus) in blue, MAP2 (Microtubule-associated protein 2, showing neurons) in green and GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein, showing astrocytes) in red. Scale bar is 150 μm. -- npj Microgravity
