SE, BSE comp 5000x, new bone formation on CHO incus bone surface. (a) SE mineralizing matrix vesicles releasing their content on collagen bundles (arrows). (b) BSE comp mineralizing matrix vesicles (arrows) appear as bright and rough spheres. Collagen fibres and bundles with variable mineralization degree are visible. Mineralized areas appear lighter at BSE mode.
