Vectorial sequence of mineralization in the turkey leg tendon determined by electron microscopic imaging
Abstract
Turkey leg tendons were used as a model tissue to study the spatial and temporal relationships of mineral deposition between matrix vesicles and collagen fibrils by various electron microscopic techniques—bright field, selected-area dark field (SADF), and electron spectroscopic imaging (ESI). These latter imaging techniques enabled the direct localization and spatial distributions of both apatite crystals and atomic elements (Ca, P) within …
