The phrase "axis increment" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to mathematics, data visualization, or programming, where you are discussing the increase in value along an axis in a graph or chart.
Example: "To improve the readability of the graph, we should adjust the axis increment to a more suitable value."
Alternatives: "axis step" or "axis interval".
Stacks of nuclei were acquired with a 63× objective and a 10× optical zoom with a Leica TCS-SP5 AOBS confocal laser-scanning microscope (z-axis increment: 0.1 µm, 8 bit images, 512 × 512 pixel, 400 Hz scan speed).
Confocal images were acquired from a field of view at 0.4-µm z-axis increments with the LSM 510 Meta confocal system (Carl Zeiss) at 40× as previously described [9, 13].
The [Ca2+]i signals were collected every 5 s with Z-axis increments of 5 10 µm at a depth of 40 90 µm from the first plane with detectable fluorescence.
Average sleep for all lines is indicated on the X axis in increments of 25 min. The Y axis depicts the number of mutant lines within each group.
If you're working with inches of rain, and your range of rainfall falls from between 10 inches (25.4 cm) and 70 inches (177.8 cm), then it will make sense to label the vertical axis in increments of ten, starting with 0, then 10, then 20, then 30, and so on.
To hide the differences, measure your y-axis in increments of 100; to accentuate them unfairly, measure the y-axis in increments of 1/10th.
In addition, maximum intensity projection (MIP) images of the abdominal aorta with iliac bifurcation were created by zeroing all voxels outside of the aorta VOI, then rotating the image volume about the Z-axis in increments of 11.25° (360°/32°).
A Nikon Eclipse Ti microscope equipped with Confocal Unit A1-R was used to obtain optical sections in the z-axis at increments of 0.2 μm using a 60×, 1.3 NA objective and 488.0 nm laser lines to excite FITC (green).
The number of such coincidences is then plotted as a function of the distance between site A and B. As an explicit example, if there are 2 and 3 tags that are mapped to sites A and B, respectively, and A and B are separated by a distance of 20 bp in the genome, the y-axis is incremented by 6 (2 times 3) at the distance of 20 bp (x-axis).
It has been reported that exercise training can influence the activation of hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and consequently increment of serum cortisol level in animal [ 25].
