A comparison of three stains; iodine potassium iodide (I2KI), phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) and phosphotungstic acid (PTA). Chemically fixed (10% formal saline) quarter segments of bovine tail intervertebral disc were incubated for two weeks before being imaged by laboratory microCT. Reconstruction software (Phoenix dato s|x2 reconstruction) was used to generate 3D datasets from the projections. This reconstructed data relates to figure 3 and is saved as 8-bit .raw with image dimensions given in the file name.
