For grabbing force measurement, we utilized a 15 mm-long section of 125 μm-diameter communication-grade fused silica optical fiber (Corning, SMF-28) as the cantilever. As the support for applying the grabbing force, we also installed a 155 μm-diameter stainless steel wire (Small Parts) in parallel with the fiber. Then we measured the deflection of the fiber under an optical microscope (E-Zoom6, Edmund Optics) as the micro-tentacle wound around both the metal wire and optical fiber.

The whole CNS of four‐month‐old snails was dissected. Briefly, the shell of the snail was removed, and the preparation was then pinned down in a Sylgard‐coated dish containing HEPES buffered saline and dissected under a stereomicroscope (E‐Zoom6, Edmund Optics, Barrington NJ, USA). The CNS was accessed by a dorsal body incision and isolated from the buccal mass by severing all the peripheral nerves and immediately placed in Eppendorf tubes on dry ice and stored at −80°C.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
