Figure 3.
Tissue dimpling during insertion. (A) Shaft width is fixed at 200 μm; (B) Tip angle is fixed at 30°. Values are calculated according to Andrei et al. (2012b). The brain tissue dimpling is given by the following formula : D[μm] = 664.47 + 0.2715 · w + 0.0216 · a · s + 1.0339 · s + 1.0096 · a, w—shaft width in μm, a—tip angle in °, s—insertion speed in μms−1. The color map corresponds to intensity in vertical direction (e.g., blue—low, red—high).
