FIGURE 4.
Confocal reflectance images of a quadrant of the MTS and surrounding collagen fibers 3–4 h after implantation. (a) MTS in a 2.0-mg/ml gel. (b) MTS in a 0.5-mg/ml gel. (c) Projection of confocal reflectance images of MTS in a 1.5-mg/ml collagen matrix several hours after implantation. Note the buildup of collagen around the edge of the MTS due to the growth of the MTS into the matrix.
