Figure Lengend Snippet: Pellet classification based on inner structure. The images obtained from SR-µ-CT measurements depict a 25 µm-thick cross-section through the centre of mass of the pellet (left) created by 3D rendering of the hyphae and talc (if applied). Spore clusters were calculated by a density-based clustering algorithm ("dbscan", MATLAB) with a minimum of 100 spores. For enhanced visibility, the calculated spore clusters of the presented cross-section are shown in different colours and the spores are enlarged by a factor of 9. Additionally, the outer morphology of each pellet type is presented for comparison (right). The images were created using VGSTUDIO MAX (version 3.2; Volume Graphics GmbH)
