High resolution electron microscope study of lattice images in biological apatites.
Lattice (Fourier) images of crystallites in human bone and teeth, and calcified atherosclerotic plaque were studied using high resolution transmission electron microscope techniques. The lattice images observed in the normal and diseased calcified tissue were compared with the images of synthetic hydroxyapatite crystallites.
