Figure 8. SEM of engineered and native cartilage.

Figure 8

Cross sections of engineered (A) and native (B) cartilage imaged by SEM. The cross sectional face of the engineered cartilage is shown between the black and white arrows. Both images are presented at the same scale. At this magnification native cartilage appeared to be a solid material with distinct lacunae, while engineered cartilage appeared less dense, with many more lacunae.
