Iodine-Enhanced Micro-CT Imaging of Soft Tissue on the Example of Peripheral Nerve Regeneration

Figure 7

With progressive shrinkage, gaps appear between the muscle fascicles and between different tissues. (a) Staining with 2 ∗ 0.15% + 1 ∗ 0.3%: clear gaps between muscles and the tendon and no obvious gaps between fascicles. (b) Staining with 2 ∗ 0.15% + 2 ∗ 0.3%: expanded gaps between muscles and tendon. (c) Staining with 2 ∗ 0.15% + 3 ∗ 0.3%: gaps between muscles, tendon, and skin are more wider and gaps between fascicles are more pronounced.
