title: Scanning electron microscope study of separated calcospherites from the matrices of different mineralizing systems.
abstract: Mineral particle clusters, corresponding to calcospherites or matrix vesicle-initiated clusters in calcifying cartilage and dentin and to collagen bundle-related mineralization in lamellar bone, have been isolated from NaOCl solutions used to dissolve the organic matrix in preparation of anorganic mineralizing fronts for scanning electron microscopy.
