After fixation in 4% formaldehyde and 70% ethanol, the VFs removed from the larynges were further processed, dehydrated, and finally embedded in paraffin wax and cut into 5 µm thick horizontal sections covering the whole thickness of each VF.
After data processing of SHG polarimetric data, the orientation and the anisotropy of the collagen fibrils in the lamellar domains were successfully retrieved in the whole thickness
The nickel and boron contents of the coatings are relatively uniform across the whole thickness.
Sections measuring 1-2 mm in width and at least as long as the whole thickness of the cortex were placed on Robertson slit grids and orientated to permit a continuous, unobstructed view of the whole thickness of the cortex from layer I to the white matter.
The results showed that the whole thickness of the pre-oxidised sample was thinner than that of the controlled one.
From the surface and cross-sectional SEM images shown in Figure 6A&B, it can be seen that NPGL30 has a 30 nm pore size structure across the whole thickness of about 100 nm.
Simulations showed that after 30 min (induction time) the inducer diffuses through the whole thickness of the well and does not restrict the bioluminescence.
The SB is foreseen to undergo a significant heat load which is a body load throughout the whole thickness of the SB under normal operation conditions.
XRD results show that the coating consists of α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3 in its whole thickness; the content of α-Al2O3 in the coating is 64±4%.
The fracture toughness KIC was found to be constant at 6.3 ± 0.4 MPa m1/2 over the whole thickness range studied, which compares well with bulk values.
"An analysis of a series of bubbles taken from the whole thickness of ice would reveal the history of the climate since the dawn of time," the film's narration reveals, its emotive soundtrack providing a clue that this was, not to put too fine a point on it, something big.
