## Abstract A quantitative analysis of cell adhesion is essential in understanding physiological phenomena and designing biomaterials, implant surfaces, and tissueβengineering scaffolds. The most common cell adhesion assays used to evaluate biomaterial surfaces lack sensitivity and reproducibility

## Abstract To facilitate tissue integration with biomaterials proteins and peptides frequently are immobilized on the biomaterial surface. In particular, extracellular matrix proteinsβwhich interact specifically with integrin adhesion receptors on the cell surfaceβcan stimulate initial cell attach
We developed a new system which enables direct observation of platelet adhesion on opaque biomaterials under shear flow conditions, by combining a thin quartz cone which produces laminar shear flows, with an upright epifluorescence microscope which visualizes stained platelets through the rotating c
