Consecutive Sections of C. elegans Used for 3D Lipid Imaging Reconstruction

Caption

Ten consecutive tissue sections from a single C. elegans nematode, shown as optical images (left stack) and corresponding lipid distribution maps generated by MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) (right stack). This sectional data enabled 3D reconstruction of lipid localization, highlighting organ-specific fat distribution along the body axis.
