  • Pseudo-coloured digital X-ray images showing that type 2 deiodinase deficiency, shown on the right, results in increased bone mineral content. Loss of the type 2 deiodinase enzyme causes brittle bones and an increased susceptibility to fracture (Bassett et al (2010) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 107:7604-9).

  • Confocal autofluorescence scanning light microscopy image of trabecular bone labeled with two doses of calcein, which incorporate into newly forming bone and fluoresce green. Dynamic parameters of bone formation are determined from the distribution and separation of the two labels (Bassett et al (2010) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 107:7604-9). Image courtesy of Duncan Bassett, Alan Boyde and Graham Williams.

  • Pseudo-coloured backscattered electron scanning electron microscopy image quantifying trabecular bone mineralization at sub-cubic micron resolution, in which grey and white indicate high mineralization and demonstrate retention of highly mineralized calcified cartilage. This bone remodelling defect results from a mutation in thyroid hormone receptor alpha (Bassett et al (2007) Mol. Endocrinol. 21:1893-904). Image courtesy of Duncan Bassett, Alan Boyde and Graham Williams.

  • Pseudo-coloured picture of trabecular bone microarchitecture imaged at the sub-micron resolution scale using backscattered electrons at multiple focus intervals in a scanning electron microscope. In this all-in-focus 3D image the 16 different focus intervals are individually colour coded as in a contour map. Image courtesy of Duncan Bassett, Alan Boyde and Graham Williams.
