Extended Data Fig. 7. Effect of geometrical inhomogeneities on contact force quantification.
a. Four examples, from independent embryos, of iMeSH cylinder with different levels of irregularity in the wall thickness and diameter. Scale bar = 100 μm. b. Contours of the logarithmic strain in the medial-lateral direction of specific iMeSH cylinders with real geometry, featuring inhomogeneities in the wall thickness and diameter. c. Contours of the logarithmic strain in the medial-lateral direction of idealised iMeSH cylinders, with constant wall thickness and diameter, corresponding to the mean value of the realNones. d. Comparison of force-displacement curves of real and idealized iMeSH cylinders. TheNpercentage errors due to modelling of an idealized geometry with respect to real one are reported at two values (10 μm and 20 μm) of the displacement in the medial-lateral direction.
