Heptanol

These images show the effects of heptanol on spiral wave dynamics. Heptanol addition (0.5mM) resulted in wave breaks which generate an increased number of spiral centers.

For a larger number of movie samples, as well as movies of control conditions, heptanol addition, and washout, please see the image database.


The animated gif image on the right may not be playing the correct speed. For a relatively accurate sample, download the .avi (Windows movie format). The .mpg format plays back faster than real time.
