On the left is a rabbit. On the right is an elephant. But guess what: They’re the *same image*, rotated 90°!

In @currentbiology.bsky.social, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I show how these images—known as “visual anagrams”—can help solve a longstanding problem in cognitive science. bit.ly/45BVnCZ

Getting tissue stress from images is tough, and elastic tension sensors are a way to solve this. Still, the analysis is complex. Try our GUI gitlab.gwdg.de/betzlab_publ... implementing analytical solutions to obtain surface stresses AND shape parameters of beads and nuclei.

In our work, we just put the camera directly into the remote refocus volume to detect the oblique plane directly, without the need for a tertiary microscope system!
