Figure 4
Apparent crystallite size along the crystallographic c axis as a function of position perpendicular to the osteon canal determined by X-ray diffraction computed tomography (XRD-CT). The image represents an average over the 10.4 µm height of the sample volume. Small crystallites (light tones) are observed close to the osteon canal. The scale bar is 20 µm.
