Spero's first mature work featured dimly discerned figures swimming in the black amniotic fluid of her darkest imagining.
Sometimes the change was simply a change in the larva to a more granular appearance, but more often ice crystals could be discerned (Figures 2, 3, 4).
Our nervous system — perhaps nature's crowning achievement — evolved to discern figure from ground, to discriminate, to judge, often on an almost reflexive basis.
The left eye showed dense media haze due to grade 4 vitritis [1] with retinal detachment which could just be discerned (Figure 1a).
SEM images show the obvious difference between electrode surface with or without TiO2@DTMBi NSs modified; the unmodified electrode surface presents the aggregates of DTMBi complexes with uncertain shape (Figure 2e), while for the modified electrode, TiO2@DTMBi NSs can be clearly discerned (Figure 2f).
However, no robust "adult-only" or "nymph-only" clusters could be discerned (Figure 1).
Compaction of more saturated nucleosomal fibers with 4 µM TRF2B was so pronounced that individual nucleosomes were more difficult to discern (Figure S3B and C).
Most null embryos were so malformed that early cell types like ectoderm and endoderm could not be discerned (Figure 4b, 5).
Individual actin filaments or filament stubs in physical contact with the microtubule surface could also be discerned (Figure 3D), indicative of at least transient direct interactions of nucleated actin filaments with microtubules, and also consistent with results obtained by FRAP (see below).
However, if the subjects were separated into those with and without a high CFU result (as shown in figure 2A), a pattern could be discerned (figure 2B).
By the late 1940s Lewis was using highly abstracted forms in his paintings, but they often still could be discerned as figures (Crossing, 1948).
