(A) Cell counts of each VSN functional type in each imaging volume.
(B) Cell count variability (see Experimental Procedures) of each type in all imaging volumes. Green represents the 95% confidence interval if cell numbers are drawn from a multinomial distribution.
(C) Variability was not correlated with cell abundance, r: Pearson’s correlation coefficient (p=0.14).
(D) Pairs of imaging volumes recorded from the same animals. Each color represents one animal, and the two lines with the same color are the two non-overlapping imaging volumes from the same animal.
(E) Left (by cell type): summed difference of intra-animal pairs (●) was smaller than that of any combination of inter-animal pairs (●, all 265 possible permutations of pairs in E are shown). Right (by total cell #): intra-animal difference (●) is not significantly smaller than all possible inter-animal differences ●.
Error bars represent 95% confidence interval.
