Abstract
ELECTRON microscopy has been used extensively in the study of collagen in skin, tendon and cartilage. Its presence in bone has also been shown by several workers, including Huber and Rouiller1 and Randall et al. 2. Ascenzi3, in addition to his own observations, discusses critically the literature on the structure of bone as demonstrated by electron-microscope techniques.
