Figure 5

Box plots of the size information of melanin particles/aggregations in benign and malignant melanoma.

(a,b) are box plots of volume and surface area, respectively, of the melanin particles/aggregations in the sixteen 3D images in Figs 2 and 3. (c) The box plot of volume with small plot range compared with (a). (d) The box plot of surface area with small plot range compared with (b). (e,f) are box plots of the volumes and surface areas of the maximum melanin particles/aggregations in each image in Figs 2 and 3.
