Howdy,

A graphics inclusion acts like a character, maybe a large one but  
still a character. therefore you've got to use something like $... 
\text{\includegraphics[,scale=0.75]{Figures/01_01_00.pdf}}$
since it has no meaning within math mode. This assumes you use the  
amsmath package; otherwise use \mbox instead of \text.

Good Luck,
