Bioluminescence analysis of <i>ex vivo</i> tissues.

<p><i>Ex vivo</i> bioluminescence imaging of tissues taken from ARE-Luc mice injected with 150mg/kg luciferin substrate and killed and dissected after 10 minutes. (<b>A</b>), Images of male tissues (upper panel) and female mice (lower panel). (<b>B</b>), Images of coronal sections through the cerebral cortex of a male and female mouse brain. CC - Cerebral Cortex, Th - Thalamus, Hth - Hypothalamus. (<b>c</b>), Image of the underside of the male brain, showing pituitary and optic nerve bundles. Figure represents a greyscale photograph overlaid with a pseudocolour representation of bioluminescence. Images are representative of the pattern seen in several mice.
