Age Dependent Differences in Collagen Alignment of Glutaraldehyde Fixed Bovine Pericardium
Figure 6
Plots of the intensity of a selected collagen peak at varying azimuthal angles for bovine pericardium samples. (a) A poorly aligned tissue; (b) a highly aligned tissue. The central peak at 180° (and other peaks at 0 and 360°) is the variation in intensity of collagen D-spacing whereas the lower peaks at 90° and 270° are due to the scattering from the thickness of the fibrils and fibril bundles.
