Fig 10
Composite optical micrographs of the main thin section under different light settings.
(A) Cross-polarized light. (B) Polarized light with the lambda wave plate (530 nm) inserted. (C) Normal transmitted light. Although poorly preserved, osteohistological features are best observed under normal transmitted light as shown in the magnified images in (C).
