Figure 1: Measurement of Sxa profiles.

From: A new structure-property connection in the skeletal elements of the marine sponge Tethya aurantia that guards against buckling instability

Figure 1

(a) A micrograph of several Sxa. (b) An SEM image of a single Sxa. The Sxa’s profile is highlighted. (c) A magnified view of (b) showing points composing the profile. (d) Dimensionless profiles of the 31 Sxa. The inset shows the distribution of αm. The square and error bar indicate the mean and standard deviation of αm. The scale bars in (a)–(c) are 500 μm, 250 μm and 25 μm, respectively.
