Recon refers to reconstruction labels in Figure 2. ECW is the median width of the extracellular space (ECS) measured from each surface at a density equivalent to tiling the surface with equilateral triangles of side length 40 nm and then measuring the extracellular width from the barycenter of each triangle. Raw reconstruction has a total volume of 1.83347e+11 nm3. Nonscaled (f = 1) reconstruction has a total volume of 1.82012e+11 nm3. Scaled (f = 1.15) reconstruction total volume was assumed to be 50% more than the nonscaled volume. The square root of the ratio of total surface area of the scaled to nonscaled reconstruction should equal the scaling factor f. Given mean surface areas of 2,534.4 and 1,880.4 μm2 for scaled and nonscaled reconstruction respectively, the calculated scaling factor is 1.16, close to the 1.15 used, suggesting that total surface area is insensitive to reconstruction lacunarity.
