From: Molecular mapping of periodontal tissues using infrared microspectroscopy
Comparison of periodontal tissues visualized by IR microspectroscopic mapping and by conventional H and E staining. Major periodontal tissue components (DNA, protein, and lipid), as determined by IR microspectroscopic mapping, are correlated with conventional H&E staining in a representative periodontal tissue section. IR spectra obtained from within the square boxes at different areas of the tissue section (periodontal epithelium and nearby connective tissue) are shown.
