Fig. 3. Cortical tension versus area expansion in neutrophils post partial aspiration (x) and in neutrophils post-phagocytosis (
). Each data point represents a different neutrophil. The right panel shows in detail the boxed area in the left panel. Straight lines are fits to the aspiration data at less than 25% expansion (right) and more than 30% expansion (left; see Eqns 8 and 9).
