Simulation of 3D Solid Tumour Angiogenesis Including Arteriole, Capillary and Venule

A disc-loading device includes a loading arm, a holding device, a guiding rail, and a guiding slot. The loading arm has a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to and movable along the guiding rail. The second end has a roller inset into the guiding slot. Due to the guiding function of the guiding rail and the guiding slot, the loading arm is able to shift along the guiding rail or rotate around its axis. The holding device for holding the disc is provided on the loading arm by means of rotatory movement with respect to the loading arm.
