title: New method of bone preparation for collagen fiber orientation studies by means of scanning electron microscopy.
abstract: A sample preparation technique was developed for observing the orientation of collagen fibers in the lamellas of human osteonic bone by means of scanning electron microscopy. Scanning electron micrographs of these fiber orientations are given in the text.
