Figure 5
In vivo imaging of quarry dust in a live mouse trachea. The image on the left was captured approximately 1.75 min after imaging was started, and the location of a quarry dust particle is marked with an X. The sequence of image strips to the right (10.5 s apart) were created by cropping complete image frames as marked, to show the same region in subsequent motion-detected frames. The motion of the dust particle is tracked by the grey line, and demonstrates variability in the rate of particle transit for even a single particle. Other particles were also visible when viewed dynamically, but cannot be seen on these static images. Movie S1 in the online supporting information (QuarryDust.avi) contains a time-lapse movie of the in vivo behaviour of quarry dust particles.
