Figure 5

Coherency maps of decreased Collagen I ordering at the E0771 mammary tumor boundary in MMP13 KO mice. The same representative images as in Figure 3 were combined with their respective pixel-by-pixel coherency maps (calculated as described for Figure 4) as Hue-Saturation-Brightness (HSB) images (H = Constant; S = Coherency; B = Original Image), such that increased amounts of “bright red” signal reflects greater coherency. Compare more bright red signal signifying greater coherency in WT (Panel A), versus less bright red signal and lesser coherency in MMP13 KO (Panel B). Coherency maps were produced using Orientation J (http://bigwww.epfl.ch/demo/orientation/).
