The selection of shape function and sub-district size influences the accuracy of calculated result, as shown in fig. 6, the application has evaluated difference Sub-district size and shape function are to the displacement being calculated and the influence of tractive force.As seen from Figure 6, stepped using reversed two Function, when sub-district size takes 19pixels, the displacement and tractive force rebuild are most accurate.Finally, as shown in fig. 7, utilizing The constitutive relation of the 3-D displacement field and gel rubber material that arrive, further according to Elasticity basic theories solution, the three of cell are released in inverting Tie up tractive force.
In conclusion the application volumetric image acquisition time shortens 50 times compared to conventional three-dimensional method, can quickly survey Measure cell three-dimensional tractive force;Since the sampling time is short, bring phototoxicity is small, will not influence the activity of cell, can be used for form The measurement for changing faster cell, has a wide range of application;Single fluorescent distribution of particles is easy to operate in substrate surface, and is not present three The problem of dimension is unevenly distributed;The displacement accuracy that the digital volume related algorithm of proposition is calculated is high and speed is fast.
