3D imaging of biomaterials - from tissue to material structures and functions

摘要

Methods to get information on actual geometry, structure and function of biomaterials and lately tissue engineered grafts are well warranted. In biomaterial research imaging has been applied more on samples in-vitro or ex vivo tissue samples with several microscopic methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or atomic force microscopy (AFM), have be used for assessing the properties of the materials. The needs to analyze and assess the
