Abstract
An apparatus for measuring the ability of ameboidally mobile cells to migrate has a deposit of active substance in the form of a plate, a membrane filter disposed on the deposit and one or more vessels on the filter. The vessel or vessels have a base opening, for a liquid which contains ameboidally mobile cells. The base opening in the vessel bears against the membrane filter. A surface area of the membrane filter is at least 1.6 times as large as the area of the base opening in the vessel.
