Fig. 3

Only tumour cells with a complete nucleus are considered here. Blood capillary portions are in red. a Accumulation map of virtual rays [Accumulated ray intensity [a.u]; voxel-by-voxel basis; see yellowish voxels] emitted by each cell along its main axis. (i) Reconstructed 3D image of accumulation map of virtual rays. (ii–ix) 2D cross-sectional maps for increasing depth along the Z-axis. b Binary classification of polarised/unpolarised cells: (i) Reconstructed 3D image of polarised/unpolarised cells. 17 cells (in yellow) emitted virtual rays reaching the main accumulation region observable in panel (vii) (accumulated ray intensity >3.5). a.u., arbitrary unit. (ii–ix) 2D cross-sectional maps for increasing depth along the Z-axis. Scale bar = 10 µm.
