Fig. 2.

Quantitative backscattered SEM indicates less mineralization in Opn^−/− bones compared to WT bones at the tissue-level. The box plots represent 25th, median and 75th percentile of the data pooled for all 5 samples. The mineral distribution heterogeneity is not significantly different between the two groups, as illustrated by representative images of the diaphysis cross-sections.
