NANOSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS IN COMPARATIVE ESTIMATION OF DEGENERATIVE CHANGES IN INTERVERTEBRAL DISK

Abstract

By atomic force microscopy we realized the research of anatomic material represented by the fragments of tissue of intervertebral disks of different stages of degenerative process. The researches were carried out with help of probe nanolaboratory with videomicroscope Ntegra Prima. As the result we obtained direct experimental data that proves some theoretical investigation that hadn't had. visual proves.
