Fig. 3. Phagocytosis of 3.2 µm (top) and 4.6 µm (bottom) beads. Experimental and simulation images shown at synchronized times indicated by orange arrows on line-plots. Color inside the simulated cells indicates the cytoskeletal volume fraction in percent (% network). Tension plots show experimental data in grey (filled squares correspond to shown micrographs, empty squares to other phagocytoses of same diameter beads purposefully selected for significant difference). For graphs on the left, the heavy black line shows total surface tension from simulation (red is the elastic contribution _el and blue is the viscous contribution _vis). On the right, bead center position is shown with respect to the back of the cell. A magnification of the boxed area shown in the middle image of the second half of this figure is shown in Fig. 5.
