What is it about?
This study aimed to classify gallstones based on their morphology and composition. We used UV-vis, SEM and EDS to study the composition. The findings revealed that cholesterol and bilirubin are the primary components, while metals like aluminum, calcium, and copper play a crucial role in their formation.
