Fig. 5. Area scan and deflection shapes of the tympanic membrane (TM) in X.
triangulum. Area scans of tympanal deflections for three different
frequencies. The deflections are shown each time for four different phases
along the oscillation cycle. Deflections are additionally shown as profiles,
as if looking at the tympanum from its side. Red indicates positive
displacement (or outward tympanal deflections), and green indicates negative
displacement (or inward tympanal deflections).
