LCM images of a healing epithelial island within a 6-day burn injury. (a) Hematoxylin- and eosin-stained frozen section showing the cell population of interest before LCM. (b) Section showing circular outlines of laser meltings of the film prior to extraction from the section. (c) View of the circular outlines of the epithelial cells that were targeted for capture on the film on the cap. Inset confirms that cells were captured. (d) View of the deficit in the burn section where the epithelial island was once located. LCM image of a hair follicle. (e) Hair follicle prior to LCM. (f) Hair follicle targeted for capture. Note where film that is melted over this region of interest. (g) Image of the tissue deficit after successful LCM. (h) Image of the epithelial cells from the hair follicle that are successfully captured.
