Figure 2
(a) A representative 2D-XRD pattern generated from an orientated pregnant WT mouse bone sample. Arcs displayed in the 002 ring show that the crystal c axes are aligned with the long axis of the bone. (b) A 2θ scan generated from an angular sector in the 2D-XRD pattern containing the intense 002 arc. The large peak beginning at 5° is related to the (poly)methyl methacrylate (PMMA) block that the bone was embedded in. No background removal has been conducted on either of the patterns. (c) A 002 γ scan showing the contribution of the oriented and non-oriented fractions of bone mineral. |
