Figure 5. Fiberoptic detection of the light scattering intensity in the floating coccoliths when the average direction of the radial board orientation was affected by the applied magnetic field.

A magnetic field of 400 mT was applied twice during the time-course measurement. (a) The incident light was parallel to the magnetic field. Light was collected from the direction that was perpendicular to both the incident light and the magnetic field. (b) The three vectors were orthogonal. (c) Light was collected from a direction that was parallel to the magnetic field. The incident light was perpendicular to both the detection direction and the magnetic field direction.
