Figure 2.

Normalized distribution of chord lengths at $\varphi =1.2$ and different times during the collapse of the disordered microgel of middle asphericity (a), the semiflexible chain (b), 12-arm star (c) and three-arm star (d). The chord lengths are calculated for a density field with $r_{\mathrm{c}}=1.0$ and ${\rho }_{\min }=0.6$.
