Abstract
This study assessed the wettability of cellular surface with noncontact meniscus manipulation under a microscope. The surface of culture medium covered on cells was manipulated by air-jet and the meniscus of culture medium was generated. The movement of meniscus was monitored with a microscope. The shape of interface between culture medium and air on the cells was different from the part of cells.
