BSE Comp, 3000x, dEDS analysis, confirmation of new bone formation on CHO incus bone. (a) VP SEM BSE image shows matrix vesicles (arrows). (b) Elemental distribution (dEDS analysis) allows identification of chemical species, calcium in matrix vesicles (yellow) and sulphur in extracellular matrix (red).
