Figure 3
After characteristic coloring, the virtual tissue slices were compared with H&E stained slices. (a, b) Spinal cord coronal and sagittal plane H&E staining. (c, d) Transverse and vertical virtual tissue slices based on microstructure 3D reconstruction of the spinal cord. The red arrow indicates the micro-vasculature of the spinal cord, the black broad arrow indicates the central canal, the red dovetail arrow indicates the white matter and the white dovetail arrow indicates the gray matter in the spinal cord. (e) Average cord cross-sectional area (mm²) in tissue sections (10 per animal) at the tenth thoracic level (n = 6 animals per group). (f) Correlation analysis of measured cord cross-sectional areas (CSAs) by using SR-PCT and H&E staining at the matched level.
