Comparison of Physicochemical Properties of Nano- and Microsized Crystals in the Urine of Calcium Oxalate Stone Patients and Control Subjects
Figure 3
TEM images of urinary crystallites of calculi patient after filtration through membranes with different pore sizes: (a) 0.45 μm; (b) 1.2 μm; (c) 3.0 μm. The bars: 500 nm. This figure showed that the particle size of the urinary crystallites of CaOx calculi patients increased gradually and distributed very unevenly with increased pore size. Large-sized crystallites in the patients were formed.
