Histology Data

This data set also contains histology images of mouse skin stained with Masson Trichrome stain. It contains 80 total .tif files that are named to provide information on the sample. The name of each image provides details on the sample including subject age (i.e., young = 12 weeks, aged = 52 weeks), subject number, and sample location (i.e., dorsal or ventral). For each sample, we took multiple images at different locations (e.g., Image1, Image2, etc). Samples were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for 24 hours, until transferred to 70% ethanol for storage. Samples were shipped to a commercial histology service (Histoserv Inc, Germantown, MD). Images were acquired with a 10x objective on a light microscope setup (BX53 Upright Microscope, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Pixel conversion is 1 pixel = 645 nm.
