Dancing with the Cells: Acoustic Microflows Generated by Oscillating Cells

In our originally published article, acoustic wave propagation through the substrates were discussed as surface waves.With this note, we want to clarify the distinction between the definitions of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) and plate waves.SAWs often refer to acoustic waves propagating near the surface of a medium of sufficiently large thickness.Whereas, as in our case, plate waves (e.g., Lamb waves) are bounded by two surfaces of a medium of sufficiently small thickness compared to the acoustic wavelength.The authors apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
