Light microscopy results almost ready...

Hi Everyone!

Ok - last time I said the next update would be the link to the results. They'll take me a little longer, so apologies for the delay, but here's the update on what's been happening and why it will take me a shade longer..

There will be over 100 images in the light microscopy set - whole mounts covering all three hair types. In all of the SEM & CLSM work, apart from detailing the procedure involved, the bulk of the published results consisted of the micrographs themselves. There is a short commentary on each image in the set but there is no comparative analysis with any earlier work on Tasmanian tiger hair.

For the light microscopy images (to come), I have produced a table outlining each of the hair features that is visible within each of the images. The primary objective for the project was to produce a reference library to make it easier to examine any unknown hair sample and compare it with known thylacine hair imagery. This table will act as a bit of an index - so if you want to see what the imbricate scale pattern looks like on the mid section of an under hair, you can scan down the list and find exactly which images will show this feature to you. Alternatively, by scanning the list you will see that the types of scale and medullary patterns which are visible, can change along the length of a fibre. This was described in earlier papers and now you can jump in and see the varying pattern along the fibre's length, and the overview table lets you know exactly where to look.

In addition to this I want to go back to the two primary reference papers and exatract each of the comments made specifically about thylacine hair. Because there is inconsistency in terminology and descriptions between earlier papers and, for example, the FBI's summary of hair fibre features, I want to be able to link the earlier descriptions to specific images in this new set of light micrographs; that is, to illustrate the earlier descriptions.

We are definitely getting close to a full and complete description of the hair samples that were studied under light microscopy and the plan is to have all the photos and descriptions out before Christmas ... this one! :D

Chris.
