3D microstructure and tidemark surface of the PPTI. (a, c, e and g) PPC-SRµCT preserved volumetric representation of the 3D structure of PPTI via different perspective including the bone, tendon and interface. (b, d and f) The patella and tidemark surface of PPTI with different perspective. (h) The 3D microtructure of tendon. Scale bar = 100 µm (a–g); 40 µm (h). |
