Figure 7From: Molecular mapping of periodontal tissues using infrared microspectroscopy Cluster mapping of periodontal tissue. Average spectra were generated from nine groups based on their overall spectral features (A); each representing one class in the cluster map of periodontal tissue (B) produced by the cluster analysis. Good correlation can be observed between the cluster mapping (B) and corresponding chemical mapping (protein) (C) based on the differential spectral features of the epithelial and connective tissues.Back to article page
