Scanning Electron Microscopy images demonstrating (A) extracellular matrix (ECM) formation within the engineered lamellar construct (magnification x1,000, scale bar = 50 μm), (B) suspected collagen lamella formation on top of the aligned electrospun fibers scaffold (ELSP) (magnification x4,000, scale bar = 10 μm), (C) formation of highly aligned collagen fibers present on the scaffold surface (magnification x10,000, scale bar = 2 μm), and (D) collagen fiber morphology demonstrating the clear D-banding characteristic associated with fibrillar collagen) (magnification x120,000, scale bar = 0.3 μm) [White dash-line indicates separation between lamellar construct layers. White dash-circle indicates high magnification image in (C,D)].
