The gels were visualized under UV illumination and photographed by a digital image capture system (KODAK 1D3.6; Digital Science, Rochester, NY, USA).
HRT III RCM uses an entirely digital image capture system, and all images are stored in an external hard drive.
BOX-PCR products were separated in standard 1.5% agarose gel and in 6% polyacrylamide gel, visualized under UV light, and photographed with a gel doc digital image capture system (Bio-Rad).
A six-camera digital optical motion capture system (Vicon MX, Oxford, UK) was used to record the position of 35 retro-reflective markers placed on the lower limb and torso (100 Hz).
This program, with a digital image-capture system, a semi-automatic contours highlight method, and an automatic image transform-shift-overlay technique, greatly speeds up the reconstruction process.
Photographs were taken using a fluorescence microscope (BX51, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with a digital image capturing system (DP50, Olympus).
Three-dimensional motion analysis was performed using a marker-based, 11-camera digital motion capturing system (250 Hz; Qualisys, Gothenburg, Sweden).
Additionally, an optical 3D motion tracking system with five ProReflex MCU digital cameras (Qualisys Motion Capture System; Qualisys AB, Gothenburg, Sweden) was used to identify relative motion in the fracture gap.
Crypt depth and villus height were measured from HE stained slides on a light microscope equipped with a digital camera, and a computer-aided image capture system.
