    Hi

    For the brass look try a curve such as that shown below and a solid color set to blending mode color

    Personally I think the example image's execution is quite horrendous looking, but that's just me.

    Aside from this, have you considered using a 3d model of scales instead of a photo? With proper lighting and rendering the end result will look far better, and allow for infinitely more flexibility.

    Same for the stethoscope and blood cells. Or take your own photos of a stethoscope.

        The Brass Effect can be done with Lighting effects.   Start with the 5 lights down and adjust the light colors to white.  Similar to embossing but I like this method.

        Seems a simple composite to me.  Open the background image and place the others on layers above that and mask accordingly.
