A, B, C) This partial sequence of photomicrographs, spaced at 96μm intervals in the Z-direction, demonstrates epithelial incorporation into the 40μm pores of poly(HEMA) 7 days after implantation. D) Analyzed photomicrograph shows radial lines emanating from the centroid (central arrow) of the biomaterial (green mask), the contours outlining the keratin stain and intersects between radial lines and contours nearest the centroid (red dots). E) Same micrograph as D, showing how the Euclidean distance map assigned pixel values to each intersect according to its distance from the biomaterial’s edge (red arrow). Using image calibration, the pixel values were converted to microns (embedded table).
