Primary radiation damage in bone evolves via collagen destruction by photoelectrons and secondary emission self-absorption. Nature Communications , 2022; 13 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-34247-z ...

Since the first electron microscopes turned their beams on bone in the late 1960s, scientists knew it was primarily made up of bone mineral and collagen, a fibrous protein.
