Figure 3
Calculated dark field images showing the granularity of the cell on different length scales. The color scale of each image ranges from the minimum to maximum number of detected photon counts for the corresponding q-range. See Fig. S3 for a version of this figure with the same color scale used for all subfigures. The nucleolus structure is represented by the globular region of high scattering power, as indicated by the increase in detected photon counts, on length scales of (a) 7 to 35 nm (white arrow) and (b) 35 to 61 nm. Heterochromatin is represented by regions of high scattering power at the periphery of the nucleus, and is observed on length scales of (c) 61 to 87 nm (white arrow), (d) 87 to 113 nm, (e) 113 to 139 nm and (f) 139 to 165 nm. Euchromatin fills the remainder of the nucleus on all length scales and is depicted in a light blue color. The scale bar in (a) is 10 µm and applies to all subfigures.
