FIGURE 12. Energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) linescan dataset. (A) EDS linescan site of interest BSE image in a cross-sectional view of a sea pen Stylatula sp. axial skeleton acquired by INCA Energy software using same region as Figure 11, horizontal linescan through the middle of the axis was applied for EDS analysis to examine the distribution of elements along the line. Scale bar = 900 μm. (B) Element linescan result displaying grouped linescans as colored: carbon (red), oxygen (orange), fluorine (yellow), sodium (green), magnesium (light green), aluminum (bright green), silicon (aqua), sulfur (light blue), calcium (blue), strontium (pink), ytterbium (purple), iron (hot pink).
