Surface rendering of the 3D EPR image superimposed with 3D rendering of the NMR image. B. Slices from the same 3D image. EPR images rendered in color superimposed with corresponding slices of NMR image rendered in gray scale.

2. Tissue was sliced in 60 micron thickness by cryo-sectioning & immersed in 10% of Formaldehyde for fixation & transporting from campus-to-campus at room temperature
3. Tissue samples in Formaldehyde were brought into the anaerobic chamber (oxygen is < 1000ppm).
4. Tissue was rinsed 3-4 times with Trityl solution (1.3mM of OX63 d24 in 5mM NaOH T2 ~3 7 microseconds) & any excessOX63_d24 in 5mM NaOH, T2 3.7 microseconds) , & any excess amount of Trityl was removed by using Kimberly tissue & loaded in the flat capillary. The sample was immediately sealed with UV curing epoxy for imaging experiment.

A microstrip line half-wave resonator delivers a transverse magneticdelivers a transverse magnetic field, B 1, oscillating at 17.7 GHz.
In the center of the resonator, the microwave field oscillates along the x direction.
A longitudinal Zeeman field of magnitude B 0 ≈ 0.6 T is applied along the z axis.
The high-compliance cantilever has its long axis along y & oscillates in the x direction. The cantilever's 4 μm-diameter nickel tip was affixed by hand.
