Figure 6
In vivo imaging of fibreglass in a live mouse trachea. (a) The trachea immediately prior to fibreglass delivery, and (b) the first image captured after imaging began. Although the fibres were visible in the trachea, they did not move throughout the imaging period. Most fibres were located on the dorsal tracheal surface but in this animal a small number were also visible on the ventral surface. Movie S2 in the online supporting information (Fibreglass.avi) contains a time-lapse movie of the in vivo behaviour of fibreglass fibres. |
