Claim Text:
1. An optically transparent microfluidic chip comprising: one or more idealized flow channels having one or more inlets and one or more outlets and a first cross-sectional dimension, each idealized flow channel having one or more linear sections; one or more tissue spaces bordering the one or more idealized flow channels and having a second cross-sectional dimension; and two or more connected linear walls of two or more linear sections of a first idealized flow channel, wherein the two or more connected linear walls define two or more connected linear walls of a first tissue space, wherein a first wall separating the first idealized flow channel from the first tissue space includes a plurality of apertures that fluidly couple the first idealized flow channel with the first tissue space, the plurality of apertures having a third cross-sectional dimension.
