| Method |
"[Researchers] used the cell area (A) measured from DIC (Differential interference contrast) images to calculate cell
volumes. [They] divided a cell into a cylinder with a diameter (D) of 3.74 µm and a height H and two hemispheres with a diameter (D) of 3.74 µm. Thus, the average volume of
asynchronous cells is 92 µm^3 (N = 658 cells)." |
| Comments |
"Cells have a regular rod shape with a constant diameter of D = 3.74 ± 0.15 µm
(N = 2600 cells)." |
