Figure 4

(a) Photograph of specimen face prior to cutting into quadrants and mounting on slides. (b) Manually reassembled whole histology section obtained using Photoshop with low resolution images (final stitched image is 2,796 × 2,358 pixels). (c) HistoStitcher© reassembled whole histology section from high resolution images (final stitched image is 48k × 41k pixels). Both stitches in (b) and (c) are validated by the photograph of the section taken prior to cutting. (d)–(g) Close up views of regions I–IV over the seams of the HistoStitcher©-reassembled image in (c). (h)–(k) Close up views of the regions nearest to I–IV on the manually-reassembled image in (b). The seams in (d)–(g) contain smaller gaps and better continuity of internal tissue structures compared to the seams in (h)–(k).
