In cross sections of EHTs cardiomyocytes were almost exclusively round in shape, indicating the high degree of longitudinal alignment in EHTs (Fig. 3b, see also Fig. 1b, c).
Moreover, the performances of the polarization beam splitter are insensitive to longitudinal alignment errors in the coupling region, which is desirable for device fabrication and practical application.
Wood grain is determined by the orientation of the cells of the axial system and is thus a measure of the longitudinal alignment of the tracheids (in a softwood) or fibres and of their predominance.
The longitudinal alignment of collagen fibres was reduced in the tendinosis tendons, in association with a reduction of SHG signal intensity.
The longitudinal alignment of the Swarm orbits provides good opportunity to identify the longitudinal distribution of bubble occurrence by their detection in satellite data.
The experiment required reproducible longitudinal alignment of the bone during compression testing, and this was achieved using a mounting block.
To assure the longitudinal alignment of vessel elements, a xylogenic signal might be given by the developing vessel to an undifferentiated cell in the cambial zone of a contiguous xylem patch via parenchyma-vessel pits [34], [35], [36].
Studies have shown that the myofilament protein content in atrophic muscles is reduced and the sarcomere alignment altered, as seen in longitudinal sections.
Also, it is impossible, to our knowledge, to assess properly endothelial cell alignment in zebrafish embryos or in longitudinal sections of the aorta.
