Abstract
EARLIER investigations1–4 on the fluorescent material in calcified tissues have indicated that it is associated with the collagenous organic matrix of these tissues. Observations on soluble tissue matrix preparations showed they had excitation maxima at 330 mµ with corresponding emission maxima about 400 mµ.
