In-line phase contrast microCT of unstained bovine IVD segments. Samples scanned using Carl Zeiss Xradia Versa (MXIF) (a) and synchrotron (b–g). Samples have either been fixed, through an ethanol dehydration series and embedded in paraffin wax (a–f), or fixed only (g). Overview of IVD structure (c–e) using images taken from one slice (b). Collagen fibres (f) and AF lamella structure (g) were resolved.
