Factors represent diffusable, reacting solutes. They occupy the volume (after reshaping) with a value >0. The diffusion constants are also per-voxel.

Microtubule details are in the dyn (dynamic organelle) field. Here we show microtubule 1. It contains a local copy of microtubule properties in the field: Props (derived from data.organelles.microtubules)
