The objective of this study was to introduce the complementary relationship between virtual dissection table (simply, table) and free software, since authors tried to aid interested people in their studying digital human anatomy. Visible Korean (VK) team had presented the serially sectioned images and outlined images of a male cadaver. Thereafter, Anatomage (San Jose, CA) manufactured the table...

In Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectrocopy, the tissue preparation method is crucial, especially how the tissue is cryo-sectioned prior to the imaging requires special consideration. Having a temperature difference between the cutting blade and the specimen holder of the cryostat greatly affects the quality of the sections. Therefore, we have developed an optimal protocol for cryo-se...

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) has been employed to rapidly screen longitudinally sectioned drug user hair samples for cocaine and its metabolites using continuous raster imaging. Optimization of the spatial resolution and raster speed were performed on intact cocaine contaminated hair samples. The optimized settings (100 × 150 μm at 0.24 mm/s)...

This study evaluated the effect of specimens’ design and manufacturing process on microtensile bond strength, internal stress distributions (Finite Element Analysis FEA) and specimens’ integrity by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (LCM). Excite was applied to flat enamel surface and a resin composite build-ups were made incrementally with 1-mm i...

The gene for polysyndactyly (Ps) arose during a neutron irradiation experiment at the M.R.C. Radiobiological Unit at Harwell (Batchelor, Phillips & Searle, 1966), and was offered to the author in November 1964. The mice from Harwell were outcrossed to CB $? (the Fx of CBA/Gr &?xC57 BL/Gr $?). The stock was outcrossed again in late 1966 to improve fertility. Rigorous brother/sister mating has no...
