Scanning electron micrographs and energy dispersive analysis for X-ray of (a) nanostructured titanium surface obtained by anodization and (b) nanosized thin calcium phosphate (CaP) coating on titanium produced by electrochemical deposition. Note the regular array of TiO2 nanopores of approximately 100 nm in diameter and the nanosized CaP crystals on titanium surfaces.
