Deposits of Pseudomonas cultures isolated from New Zealand kiwifruit in the ICMP culture collection. A 13-year gap in deposits before the 2010 outbreak limited the use of the collection in determining the timeline of the origin of the incursion.

Cave map of the Grotte des Collemboles and visualization of the moonmilk deposit sampling points. Location of the Grotte des Collemboles (Springtails’ Cave) in Comblain-au-Pont (Liège, Belgium) and cave map with general view and close up of the moonmilk deposits from the different collection points (COL).

Fraction of deposits determined with the use of CCD detectors by data collection year. The blue bars represent the fraction of PDB deposits solved using synchrotron radiation, while the red bars represent the fraction of deposits solved using home systems.

Time-course formation of creatine crystals during tissue dehydration. (A) Optical image of tissue section prior to data collection (no creatine deposits are visible). (B) FTIR functional group image of the ν_s(PO₂^–) band at 1087 cm^–1 (2 min air-dried), which shows the distribution of the white matter (very dark blue), granular layer (yellow/red), and molecular tissue layers (blue). (C,D) False color FTIR functional group images of the ν_s(COO^–) band at 1402 cm^–1, which show the absence of creatine deposits in the 2-min air-dried tissue section (C), and the appearance of creatine deposits at the same location after the tissue section was air-dried for 4 h (D). Images (C) and (D) have been set to the same intensity scale to highlight the intensity increase upon formation of crystalline creatine deposits. White arrows indicate the position of crystalline creatine deposits. Scale bar = 100 μm.
