Analysis of liver biopsy tissue using micro X-ray Fluorescence (μXRF, left) found cobalt and chromium co-localised in macrophages (right). Left: μXRF element distribution color maps with 4 μm resolution - Co (green), Cr (red) and Calcium, Ca (blue) showing deposits (white arrow). The Ca distribution provides a background image of the tissue. Right: the same slide subsequently H&E stained showing aggregates of pigmented macrophages (black arrow)
