Rat Brain Images

Caption

Shown are images produced from an analysis of lipids in a rat brain tissue sample. The first, labeled a, is an optical image, and the others are ion images created from desorption electrospray ionization analysis of select lipids. Two-dimensional images from the DESI technology, developed in the lab of Graham Cooks, further the technology's potential applications for the detection of diseases.
