effects of any type of agent, that can be added to the perfusate, on an 
unlimited variety of living cells using either visible microscopy or 
the rapidly expanding field of fluorescent imaging. The chamber can be

objectives to allow observations ranging from large populations of 
cells to single-cell studies using oil immersion lenses.
