Figure 4. XRF imaging of the substantia nigra of control and treated samples.
XRF images of Mn (A) and Fe (B) for treated and control samples. Note that the maximum Mn intensity for the control sample is 30% of the treated maximum intensity. Numbers given are in µg/g. (C) Tri-colored image of the SN where red, green, and blue represent Mn, Fe, and Cu respectively (same scale for Mn). Scale bar represents a length of 1 mm. (D) Confocal images of tyrosine hydroxylase stained SN area of adjunct sections recorded in identical experimental conditions.
