Figure 3.
SEM images of all calcium phosphate samples of interest to the present study at higher magnifications.
Notes: All images are at a magnification of 40,000× (1 μm scale bar). (A) Cancellous bone, (B) cortical bone, (C) porous nano-HA, (D) porous nano-TCP, (E) porous biphasic nano-TCP/HA, (F) dense sintered nano-HA, (G) porous silica-substituted micron-HA, (H) porous micron-TCP, and (I) porous biphasic micron-TCP/HA.
Abbreviations: SEM, scanning electron microscopy; HA, hydroxyapatite; TCP, tri-calcium phosphates.
