Microfibril Orientation Dominates the Microelastic Properties of Human Bone Tissue at the Lamellar Length Scale
Figure 1
Sample preparation: the same surface is imaged with three high resolution techniques.
A thin slice of 18 microns in thickness was cut at the surface of the sample block by microtomy to perform SAXS. A stick of 2×2 mm2 which included the region scanned by SAM was cut from the block and imaged using SR-µCT.
