3-D RI maps reveals organization of B. microti parasites inside individual RBCs.(A1-F1) The cross-sections of 3-D RI maps of individual RBCs at focus plane: (left to right) a healthy RBC, Bm-RBCs with single, double, quadruple, multiple infection sites and without parasite vacuoles, respectively. (A2-F2 & A3-F3) 3-D rendered isosurface of RI maps from the top and side view, respectively. (G-J) The cross-sections of 3-D RI maps of a Bm-RBC with quadruple infection sites (D1) at the focal plane (z = 0, x-y focus plane), y-z plane at x = 0.87 μm (right side), x-z plane at y = 0.5 μm (left bottom) and y = 1.4 μm (left top). (H) The x-y plane at 1.0 μm above the focus. (I) The x-y plane at 0.5 μm above the focus. (j) The x-y plane at 0.5 μm below the focus. The color bars are for RI. The scale bar is 3 μm.
