Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 18. Microscopic images of three kinds of asphalt fluorescence before and after oil corrosion: (a) Matrix asphalt fluorescence microscopy; (b) Oil corrosion matrix asphalt fluorescence microscopy; (c) 4.5% SBS modified asphalt fluorescence microscope; (d) Oil corrosion 4.5% SBS modified as- phalt fluorescence microscope; (e) 2.3% ER/3.8% SBS fluorescence microscopy; (f) Oil corrosion 2.3% ER/3.8% SBS fluorescence microscope.

Article Snippet: In this paper, a high-resolution fluorescence microscope (FM) (model: Axio Imager A2 m, manufacturer: CarlZeiss, Shenzhen Century Vision Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China) was used to perform 10 × 10-fold fluorescence microscopic imaging of different types of asphalt before and after oil corrosion.

Figure Lengend Snippet: UM-derived EVs increase collagen gel contraction by stellate cells. ( A ) Representative images of collagen gels (1 mg/mL) without embedded HSteCs, with embedded HSteCs not treated with EVs, and with embedded HSteCs treated during 24 h with large EVs derived from NCMs or metastatic UM cell line TJU-UM001 taken with a stereomicroscope. ( B ) Corresponding quantification of the collagen gel area (in percentage) for each condition during 48 h. Error bars indicate ±SEM ( n = 3); ** p < 0.01 and **** p < 0.0001 (two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparisons test).

Article Snippet: After 1 h of incubation at 37 °C, the outward edge of the gel was carefully detached with a pipette tip, and phase contrast pictures were taken at 0 h, 24 h, and 48 h using a stereomicroscope (Zeiss SteREO Discovery v8 with an AxioCam ERc5s, Axio Vision software version 4.8).
