The leaves were dried in an air-circulating stove (Solab Equipamentos para Laboratório Ltda, Piracicaba, SP, Brasil) at 40°C and crushed in a knife mill TE-625 (Tecnal Ltda, Piracicaba, SP, Brazil). The drug material was characterized by particle size analysis (Scanning Electron Microscopy JEOL, JSM-6610, equipped with EDS -Energy Dispersed Spectroscopy-, Thermo scientific NSS Spectral Imaging. Akishima, Japan), calculation of volatile content (moisture balance MB 35, Ohaus Inc., Pine Brook, NJ, USA), swelling index,[17 ] and by the thin layer chromatographic (TLC)[18 ] profile using coumarin and o-coumaric acid (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) as reference substances.
Nss spectral imaging
The NSS Spectral Imaging is a laboratory equipment designed to capture and analyze spectral data from samples. It provides high-resolution spatial and spectral information, enabling detailed characterization of materials and substances.

Characterization of Medicinal Leaf Material
The leaves were dried in an air-circulating stove (Solab Equipamentos para Laboratório Ltda, Piracicaba, SP, Brasil) at 40°C and crushed in a knife mill TE-625 (Tecnal Ltda, Piracicaba, SP, Brazil). The drug material was characterized by particle size analysis (Scanning Electron Microscopy JEOL, JSM-6610, equipped with EDS -Energy Dispersed Spectroscopy-, Thermo scientific NSS Spectral Imaging.

Spray Drying Herbal Extract Optimization
The physicochemical parameters of the dried extract measured were the chemical profile using TLC and determination of coumarin and o-coumaric acid by HPLC. Process yield, volatile content, water activity (Testo 650, AG, Lenzkirch, Germany), and particle morphology (Scanning Electron Microscopy JEOL, JSM-6610, equipped with EDS -Energy Dispersed Spectroscopy-, Thermo scientific NSS Spectral Imaging. Akishima, Japan) were measured.
Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis of Root Canal
root canal. Two longitudinal grooves were made on each side along the root
length using a diamond-coated disk (KG Sorensen Ind. Com., São Paulo, Brazil) at
low rotation and air/water spray, making sure that the internal part of the
canal was not touched. Next, a chisel was used to split the samples carefully
along the buccolingual axis. Samples were dehydrated in 70%, 95%, and 100%
alcohol solutions. The roots were kept for 30 min in each solution, which was
refreshed every 10 min. CO2 critical point drying (Autosamdri®, 815,
Series A) was performed before sputter-coating with gold (Denton Vacuum, Desk
V).
The images were obtained using SEM images (Jeol, JSM 6610, equipped with EDS,
Thermo Scientific NSS Spectral Imaging, Tokyo, Japan). The surface of the root
canal was examined throughout the length of the two samples of each root,
beginning in the cervical third and ending in the apical. The qualitative
evaluations were carried out at magnifications 1,600X and 5,000X to describe the
effect of PDT on the dentinal structure of the root canal.
Scanning Electron Microscopy Imaging of Vesicles
a JEOL scanning electron microscope,
model JSM 6610, equipped with a Thermo Scientific NSS Spectral Imaging.
Images were acquired at a spot size set at 40 mm, work distance at
14 mm, and with an accelerated voltage of 4 keV. A volume of 20 μL
of the freshly prepared vesicles dispersed in acetone was deposited
onto a glass substrate, and the solvent was evaporated in an oven
at 40 °C for 48 h. Samples were placed in a copper sample holder,
and metallization was carried out in a Bal-Tec MED 020 sputtering
chamber.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
