Articular cartilage with its special structure has been
studied for different layers including superficial zone
which fibers are parallel to surface,transitional zone
with random fibers or curved fibers and deep zone fibers
are perpendicular to the surface . structures which are
good explanation of magic angle effect when fibers are
oriented at 54 degree. As an importance of vertical
striation with different magic angel effect we
investigate the fiber structure of articular cartilage
using polarized light microscopy and high resolution
magnetic resonance imaging plus histology.for histology
we used the Safranine O-Green staining with PLM of
medial and lateral tibial plateau which are the surfaces
are covered whit menisci.
