(a) 3-D projection for the green, red and merged channels of the biofilm (Z-axis scaled-in to the same extent as Fig. 3). Green channel: live microbes; red channel: dead microbes. (b) Live/dead microbe distribution from the bottom to the top of the biofilm. (c) Perspectives of the biofilm viewed from the X-Z plane at 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 width of the Y-axis. (d) Perspectives of the biofilm viewed from the Y-Z plane at 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 width of the X-axis.
