The purpose of this study was to determine the accumulation levels of ten metals (Fe, Zn, Cd, Cu, Co, Ni, Al, Mn, Pb, and Cr) in the muscle tissues of Actina equina indvduals. A total of 120 individuals of A. equina were collected at six different stations in İskenderun Bay in spring 2013. The accumulation levels of heavy metals in the tissues were found to vary significantly among stations. The mean concentrations of Fe were the highest at Samandağ station (105.11 ± 74.28 mg/kg) whereas the lowest average value of Co (0.84 ± 0.10 mg/kg) was obtained at Dörtyol station. Heavy metal concentratıons in muscle tissue of A. equina were ordered as Fe>Zn>Mn>Al>Cr>Cu>Pb>Ni>Cd>Co, respectively. This study is the first detailed bioaccumulation study conducted with A. equina in İskenderun Bay.

Z Contrast

Harmonious use of Z-contrast imaging and digital image processing as an analytical imaging tool was developed and demonstrated in studying the elemental constitution of human and maturing rabbit spermatozoa. Due to its analog origin (Fig. 1), the Z-contrast image offers information unique to the science of biological imaging. Despite the information and distinct advantages it offers, the potential of Z-contrast imaging is extremely limited without the application of techniques of digital image processing. For the first time in biological imaging, this study demonstrates the tremendous potential involved in the complementary use of Z-contrast imaging and digital image processing.Imaging in the Z-contrast mode is powerful for three distinct reasons, the first of which involves tissue preparation. It affords biologists the opportunity to visualize biological tissue without the use of heavy metal fixatives and stains. For years biologists have used heavy metal components to compensate for the limited electron scattering properties of biological tissue.
