Abstract
A mapping technique which uses a scanning transmission soft X-ray microscope (STXM) is described. The
technique has been developed and used to quantitatively map the calcium mineral and protein mass thicknesses in
undemineralised, unstained, thin bone sections. Near complete femoral-neck sections of sibling normal and ovariectomised
mice have been mapped. The results show the quantitative relationship between calcium and protein on the macro and
microscopic scales for both tissues.
