From: Crystal-like order and defects in metazoan epithelia with spherical geometry
Two model spherical structures decorated with 35 large and 36 small caps, shown in blue and pink, respectively. The blue caps have 20% larger diameter (and \({{\rm{s}}}_{{\rm{i}}}\) value) than the pink. Note that in the left structure (for which α = 300) in contrast to the right one (for which α = 12), the caps almost touch each other. Caps with 5 and 7 neighbors are marked with small yellow stars and purple heptagons, respectively.
