Figure 7. Three-dimensional organization of tenocytes in healthy and tendinopathic regions.

Figure 7

(A) Healthy tendon. Nuclei are shown in different hues of blue and are aligned parallel to the tendon long axis. (B) Tendinopathic region of tendon. Nuclei are distributed almost randomly in 3-dimensions. The images are frame shots of Supplementary Data videos 3 and 4. An electron microscope image is shown superimposed on the 3D reconstructions. The size of the images are 40 μm × 40 μm (x-y, axes). The scale bars on the z-axis (i.e. parallel to the tendon long axis) are 10 μm.
