Transverse fibulae section at low magnification at two ages (x1). (a–c) Quantitative digitized microradiography was used to measure the degree of mineralization of bone (DMB, g/cm3), and (b–d) identical sections observed in polarized light. Rectangles show the location of the high magnification illustrations in Figs. 3 and 4. Illustrations will be available at high resolution.
