FIG.1
(Color) (i) Rheometer steel plate, (ii) 70-μm-thick fluorescently labeled collagen fiber network (red) with concentration c = 0.25 mg/ml and stiffness G0 = 2 Pa embedded with blue fluorescent microspheres, (iii) interface, (iv) 34-μm-thick polyacrylamide gel with stiffness G0 = 376 Pa embedded with yellow-green fluorescent microspheres accumulated primarily at the gel boundaries, (v) glass coverslip. Collagen gel preparation is similar to the procedure described in Ref. 3. Continuous shear strain γ is applied at a strain rate math = 10%  h-1. Each image is a 25-μm-thick maximum-projection in XY with the optical Z-axis in the vertical direction and applied shear in the horizontal direction (enhanced online) [URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3666225.1 ].
