Microstructure of matrix and mineral components of eggshells from White Leghorn chickens (Gallus gallus)

The avian eggshell is a composite structure of organic matrix and mineral (calcium carbonate) that is rapidly and sequentially fabricated in the oviduct in <24 hr. The eggshell is an excellent vehicle for the study of biomineralization processes and the role of the organic matrix in the mineral‐matrix composite. The organic matrix components of eggshells from White Leghorn chickens (Gallus gallus) were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and optical microscopy. The mineral phase was analyzed by TEM, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray compositional microanalysis, and electron diffraction.
