An electron-microscopic study of the crystalline inorganic component of bone and its relationship to the organic matrix.

1. The inorganic crystalline component of bone occurs as crystals having average dimensions of 500 Angstrom units in length by 250 Angstrom units in width by 100 Angstrom units in thickness.2. The crystals have a size range which they do not apparently exceed in normal bone. This range is from 1,500
