Identification of collagen fibrils in cross sections of bone by electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS)
Abstract
Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) images of ion-milled bovid cortical bone cut approximately normal to the axes of fibrils show that mineral occurs in the form of plates surrounding and laying between circular or elliptical features about 50 nm in diameter. The classification of these features as either pores or collagen fibrils is highly debated. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) mapping of these features in ion milled sections …
