Comparison of Physicochemical Properties of Nano- and Microsized Crystals in the Urine of Calcium Oxalate Stone Patients and Control Subjects
Figure 4
TEM images of urinary crystallites of healthy control 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 small-sized urinary crystallites of the controls were significantly higher than those of the patients. The particle size distribution of urinary crystallites in the controls is much narrower than that of the patients.
