Extended Data Fig. 6: Pattern-border precision at single-chromatophore level.

From: Elucidating the control and development of skin patterning in cuttlefish

Extended Data Fig. 6

Left, three similar points along the pattern trajectories shown in Fig. 4b after chromatophore alignment. Right, expanded view of a pattern border. Note the remarkably similar expansion states of the chromatophores at each of the three visits, and the rugged pattern borders at chromatophore scale, with interdigitation of expanded and contracted chromatophores, generating apparent noise. This apparent noise may be critical for natural realism.
