To date, the combination of histological sectioning, staining, and microscopic assessment of
the 2D sections is still the golden standard for structural and compositional analysis of
biological tissues. X‐ray microfocus computed tomography (microCT) is an emerging 3D
imaging technique with high potential for 3D structural analysis of biological tissues with a
complex and heterogeneous 3D structure, such as the trabecular bone. However, its use
has been mostly limited to mineralized tissues because of the inherently low X‐ray …
