Flagellar energetics from high-resolution imaging of beating patterns in tethered mouse sperm

Flagellar energetics from high-resolution imaging of beating patterns in tethered mouse sperm

We demonstrate a technique for investigating the energetics of flagella or cilia. We record the planar beating of tethered mouse sperm at high resolution. Beating waveforms are reconstructed using proper orthogonal decomposition of the centerline tangent-angle profiles. Energy conservation is employ...
