Fig 7. Biomimetic otoconium within a tube of artificial endolymph under the influence of gravity.

Fig 7

(A-C) Directional changes in time steps of 3 sec indicating the movement of the heavier mass fraction (red point) in the direction of the gravitational vector (G), indicating the non-centrosymmetric mass distribution. CGC, size about 700 μm, recorded by means of a Nikon SMZ 1500 stereomicroscope in combination with a ProgRes SpeedXT core 5 camera during sinking (about 20 sec.) in the liquid medium (artificial endolymph). Scale bar in (A) also for (B-F) 200 μm.
