Microstructural imaging of the humerus under load. From the left-hand side, (a) the micro-CT scanner, with large computer screen displaying radiographic projections during scanning, and laptop screen monitoring the compressive force applied to the specimen; (b) the specimen (potted in dental cement and wrapped in cling wrap to maintain bone moisture throughout the experiment) ready to be mounted onto the compressive stage, and (c) inside of the micro-CT gantry, showing the compressive stage (containing the specimen) with the load cell, LC, the low friction table, XY, and the crank actuating the screw jack, SJ
