From: The extracellular matrix dictates regional competence for tumour initiation

Extended Data Fig. 9

a–f, Angular distribution of collagen-fibre bundles measured by OrientationJ software from SHG images of the dermis of the WT ear (a,b) and the back skin before (c,d) and after (e,f) collagenase administration. HBS colour-coded map (a,c,e) and histogram of local angles (b,d,f) showing the orientation of collagen-fibre bundles. The orientation of the collagen bundles was relatively similar in the two locations.
