Deskripsi

The authors present cryogenic contrast-enhanced MicroCT (cryo-CECT), which by freezing stained samples at optimal freezing rates improves the visualization of the tissue microstructure. They demonstrate quantitative 3D analysis of individual tissue constituents, such as muscle and collagen fibers.
