Figure 8. Optical clearing does not alter articular cartilage structural morphology.

Figure 8

Representative SEM images of articular cartilage ultrastructure in control (pre-cleared) and uncleared samples. Images at 20,000× (A) and 40,000× (B) reveal no qualitative or discernible differences in fibril and pore structural morphology. Scale bar (A) 4 μm and (B) 2 μm.
