title: Measurement of the axial periodicity of collagen fibrils using an image processing method.
abstract: In this paper, a method is described based on a computer-aided analysis of electron-optical images of collagen fibrils from various tissues, in order to determine the axial periodicity of such fibrils. The method gives information at a level of 2-3nm.
