Images and PDFs of emission at 7.7, 10, 11.3, and 21 μm for NGC 4321 at 0.″85 (60 pc) resolution. Top: JWST images for NGC 4321 in each MIRI filter, restricted to the footprint of JWST-MUSE coverage (∼10 kpc; dashed blue). Middle: PDFs of inclination-corrected intensity from each image. The colors in the PDF map to the color bar in intensity used to display each image. Vertical dashed lines indicate the rms noise level in each filter at 0.″85. Bottom: the same PDF as in the middle row, but now with the y-axis on a logarithmic stretch to highlight features at the high-intensity end.
