"I have carefully dissected the amount of colour tones, darkness and brightness in a group of Turner paintings, and then made a kind of 'colour chart portrait' of each one, using the exact same colours and amount of light and darkness".
As for the laser dissected follicles, the total amount of RNA obtained (< 50 ng) was too small to allow accurate measurements of the RNA concentrations making it impossible to perform an evaluation of GAPDH.
The amount dissected was determined both by the length of cancer available in the core, and also to enable preservation of any remaining cancer tissue for tissue micro array studies.
A total of 2 4 littermates were dissected and equal amounts of tissue were combined (pooled) for hybridization to each array.
We hypothesised that a higher total amount of dissected lymph nodes during surgery would impose a risk for lymphoedema, which was based on the idea that less lymph nodes may drain less lymph fluid.
Portions of tumor or organs were dissected and weighed; the amount of radioactivity was measured using a γ-counter to determine 111In-octreotide biodistribution in %ID/g.
Males were dissected in a small amount of phosphate buffered saline on a microscope slide.
For each condition, whether a developmental time point or a dissected tissue, a sufficient amount of fresh tissue has been used in order to extract around 10 μg of total RNA.
Moreover, some additional pairs were interrupted 30 (n = 5), 60 (n = 10), 120 (n = 7) and 180 min (n = 6) after the beginning of copulation and females were dissected to count the amount of stored sperm.
As all samples were dissected to contain similar amounts of grey (majority) and white matter (trace), it is unlikely that the results could be a simple reflection of increased white matter density in the adolescent samples.
Tissues from the heart, lung, liver, spleen, and kidney were immediately dissected, and then a substantial amount of blood was collected.
