Figure 5

Results of the SEM (column 1) and AFM (column 2) studies of the sliced cartilage samples: (a) entire cartilage surface; (b) radial slice surface; (c) tangential slice surface. SEM images scale bars are: (a) 100 micron; (b) 10 micron; (c) 10 micron. AFM images scan sizes are: (a) 2.2×2.2 micron; (b) 1.7×1.7 micron; (c) 5.2×5.2 micron.
