Each dot represents an optical module. The modules are separated by 20 m on the inner strings (1 to 4), and by 10 m on the outer strings (5 to 10). The coloured circles show pulses from the photomultipliers for a particular event; the sizes of the circles indicate the amplitudes of the pulses and the colours correspond to the time of a photon's arrival. Earlier times are in red and later ones in blue. The arrow indicates the reconstructed track of the upwardly propagating muon.
