Half of each clot, after sectioning the clot into two parts along its long axis, was processed for SEM evaluation and fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde.
Serial optical sections acquired 0.2 µm apart along the z-axis were processed and projected into one image using Softworx (Applied Precision).
Five-micron LV short-axis sections were processed adjacent to the plane of sections for autoradiography.
Z-stacks of 15 confocal TMRM fluorescence images (with an acquisition interval along the z-axis of 0.3 μm) were processed and analyzed by LAS AF software (Leica) as previously described (Wang et al., 2011).
After the fatty tissue was removed, the SLN was weighed and cut along the short axis, and whole SLN tissues were processed for the OSNA assay.
The cardiac images were processed and short-axis, horizontal and vertical long-axis views were reconstructed.
Images were processed to obtain the short-axis, vertical long-axis and horizontal long-axis sections, as well as polar map formats, normalized to maximal myocardial activity [ 16].
Ascites samples were processed using the Lymphoprep™ (Axis-Shield, Oslo, Norway) density gradient separation method [ 15] for enrichment of tumor cells.
Gated SPECT data were processed using a standard software package to reconstruct short-axis images.
Quantitative phase images of semitransparent samples are recovered at each wavelength using off-axis interferometry and are processed to recover relative and absolute dispersion measurements.
The off-axis interferogram from the Mach-Zehnder interferometer is processed using the standard Hilbert transform [ 1].
