Fig. 6: Force inference in the C. elegans embryo.
From: Embryo mechanics cartography: inference of 3D force atlases from fluorescence microscopy
a, The top shows the pressure inference on a simulated embryo confined in a rigid shell leading to heterogeneous mean curvatures patterns at cell–medium interfaces. The bottom shows a comparison of exact and inferred pressures (Laplace and variational Laplace formula). b, Inference of tension only on the C. elegans embryo at 4, 8 and 15 cell stages from microscopy images (source ref. 18). Scale bar, 10 μm.
