A stereological method is introduced for studying the light microscopic morphometry of articular cartilage. New parameters are presented for defining the three-dimensional structure of the articular cartilage. These include volume density of the lacunae and nuclei, numerical density of cells in 3-di

## Abstract A high frequency sonographic technique–ultrasound backscatter microscopy–was used to visualize the subsurface structure of immature porcine articular cartilage from the knee joint. In 20‐week‐old pigs, all parts that were scanned, except the weight‐bearing regions of the femoral condyle
## Abstract Articular cartilage is critical to the normal function of diarthrodial joints. Despite the importance of the tissue and the prevalence of cartilage degeneration (e.g., osteoarthritis), the technology required to noninvasively describe nonuniform deformations throughout the volume of the
## Abstract The morphology of the normal human and rat articular cartilage was assessed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and two‐photon excitation (2PE) microscopy. Spurr‐embedded sections from fixed human cartilage were simultaneously evaluated using TEM
## Abstract Polarized light microscopy is a traditional method for visualizing the collagen network architecture of articular cartilage. Articular cartilage repair and tissue engineering studies have raised new demands for techniques capable of quantitative characterization of the scar and repair t
