Abstract
The method can include: acquiring an image of an arrangement having at least one cell covering at least one adhesive surface area, the at least one adhesive surface area being predictively deformable upon exerting cellular forces stemming from said at least one cell; measuring, from the image, a surface area of the at least one cell; comparing the measured surface area to a reference surface area value; and generating a signal indicative of the cellular forces based on said comparison.
