An insight into the difference between networks of collagen fibres assembled in H2O and D2O

Caption

These images, taken using an electron microscope, provide an insight into the difference between networks of collagen fibres assembled in H2O (above) or D2O (below). In H2O a more rigid network of sturdy fibres is formed, in D2O the fibres are thinner and the network less robust. Image: HIMS.
