Figure 9
Adipose tissue specimens measuring 3.5 × 2.5 mm2 with ruptured adipocytes (shaded areas) after H&E staining for various number of shock wave exposures at 6 kV (a–d) and 6.5 kV (e–h). These are representative samples at 2 cm depth with 40x magnification.
(a) 500 shock wave exposures resulting in approximately 3% lysed cells |
(b) 1000 shock wave exposures resulting in approximately 5% lysed cells |
(c) 1500 shock wave exposures resulting in approximately 16% lysed cells |
(d) 2000 shock wave exposures resulting in approximately 27% lysed cells |
(e) 500 shock wave exposures resulting in approximately 31% lysed cells |
(f) 1000 shock wave exposures resulting in approximately 43% lysed cells |
(g) 1500 shock wave exposures resulting in approximately 50% lysed cells |
(h) 2000 shock wave exposures resulting in approximately 60% lysed cells |
