Fig. 2From: Age-related changes in two- and three-dimensional morphology of type-identified endplates in the rat diaphragmTypical three-dimensional images of endplate on each fiber type from 2-month-old (a, c, e) and 30-month-old (b, d, e) rats. Using software (3D-Doctor), the three-dimensional endplates were reconstructed, and endplate volume, endplate surface area and mean thickness (volume/2D area of endplate) were calculated.
