In the hexagonal bundle phase, the MT spacing decreases with increasing osmotic pressure. The measured lattice spacing aR (left), the MT center-to-center distance, can be used to obtain the MT wall-to-wall distance (right). The applied osmotic pressure (bottom) can be used to calculate the force per unit length between MTs (top). See text for details. The dashed line is a best fit to the data.
