Figure 1 MPM of control and injured samples. Control samples typically contained few fluorescein-stained cells, while injured samples typically contained fluorescein-stained cells, autofluorescent structures, and cracks.

Figure 2 3-D reconstruction of control and injured cartilage from n=1 sample. Each point represents a single dead chondrocyte. The total volume scanned was a checkerboard of volumetric Z-scans, with 10 images at 10 μm-step intervals. An image such as that in Figure 1 represents 1.6% of the area in Figure 2.
