Muscle fibers reconstructed from the mandibular muscle of an ant (Monomorium pharaonis) (post processing).
Arguments
Format
A list with 198 entries, each representing a muscle fiber reconstructed from an image stack. Each entry contains $fiber.points, the raw reconstructed fiber paths, and $fiber.smoothed, the smoothed paths.
Details
These fibers were reconstructed using good.fibes, checked for poor fiber paths using quality.check, and had fibers fused and merged using fuse.fibers and check.overlap. Also see "ant.raw" for the initial fiber paths from good.fibes.
