Martin Knight (2012) CIL:38972, tendon cell. CIL. Dataset

Confocal image showing damaged collagen fibres in a ruptured tendon. The area of wavey fibres to the lower right shows the normal healthy appearence of tendon. The waviness allows the whole tendon to have a small amount of elasticity (2-10%) as the collagen fibres themselves do not stretch. The field of view is approximately 220 microns across

共聚焦图像呈现了撕裂的肌腱中受损的胶原纤维。图像右侧下方的波形纤维区域展示了肌腱的正常健康外观。这种波动性使得整个肌腱具有微小的弹性（2-10%），因为胶原纤维本身不具有伸展性。视野范围大约为220微米。
