Reconstructing skeletal fiber arrangement and growth mode in the coral <i>Porites lutea</i> (Cnidaria, Scleractinia): a confocal Raman microscopy study
Confocal Raman microscopy (CRM) mapping was used to investigate the microstructural arrangement and organic matrix distribution within the skeleton of the coral <i>Porites lutea</i>. Relative changes in the crystallographic orientation of crystals within the fibrous fan-system could be m...
