An illustration of the whole deformability data set of the optical stretcher. The two arrows show the starting and ending time point of stretch respectively. The thick black line shows average deformation of the length of long axis of cell over 130 cells. The gray area captures one standard deviation above and below the average. The two mechanical properties used in this paper (relaxation EOE and Deformation EOS) are illustrated. For both measurements, the deformation at the beginning of the experiment is subtracted. Hence the values of EOS are mostly positive and values of EOE mostly negative
