Figure 9μ-FTIR spectra of crystal deposits in CaOx and intestinal-bypass patients. This figure illustrates a series of infrared spectra obtained for a set of standards (calcium carbonate, CaOx, and hydroxyapatite), for a site of calcium deposit (Yasue-positive area) in the tissue of a CaOx and an intestinal-bypass patient, and for the tissue-embedding medium. The infrared spectra of the Yasue-positive area for both the CaOx and intestinal-bypass patients show a spectral band for hydroxyapatite.
