Figure 2

Effect of object shape on perceived brightness by microscopy. The circle and rectangle have the same volume and particle number. The circle appears brighter to an observer because it is thicker. The narrow vertical rectangle represents a vertical volume along the line of sight. Although the round cell appears “brighter,” the ratio of red to green tags is the same.
