  • Abstract
    The orientation and shape of chondrocytes in compressed articular cartilage were studied quantitatively by polarized light microscopy (PLM) at 0.34 μm pixel-resolution. The morphological changes of the cell shapes, the cell orientation, and the territorial matrix surrounding the chondrocytes in articular cartilage were quantified.
