An eight-well chamber slide of adherent cells inside the rotating sample box. The cells stay where they attached; gravity, too, is unchanged — it points down throughout. What changes is the direction from which gravity reaches each cell, which sweeps over every orientation as the box turns about both axes. Hold the box still and that direction becomes fixed again.
