Molecular functional group peak area ratio: area under the protein amide I (1650 cm−1) bands divided by the area under the peaks between ∼1180 and 950 cm−1 at each pixel (pixel size 10 µm ×10 µm) representing protein-to-total-carbohydrate ratio in the wheat seed tissue. (a) Visible image. (b) Spectra corresponding to the pixel at the cross-hair in the visible image. (c) Chemical ratio image: protein to carbohydrate ratio. (d) Region and baseline of protein amide I and II and carbohydrate. (e) Three-dimensional image. (f) Ratio image profile set-up. |
