Point tracking output from testing video taken using a stereomicroscope at 0.63x magnification of 1:15 PDMS. Yellow lines indicate tracking paths. One red line directly connects the center points of the sample-attached and static element points. The other red line indicates where the sample-attached point would have been without the presence of a ...
