Investigating the Lymphatic System by Dual-Color Elemental Mass Spectrometry Imaging

Figure 3

HE-staining of lymphatic vessels containing lymphatic valves revealed integrity after (a) Gd-DO3A-butrol application and (b) Gd-DO3A-butrol application and Tm-DOTMA application. Arrows indicate lymphatic valves. SEM of lymphatic endothelia was performed after application of (c) Gd-DO3A-butrol and (d) Tm-DOTMA (2200x magnification).
