The method of atomic-force microscopy of bone tissue allows studying the organic matrix and mineral component in detail. The method makes it possible to study the architectonics of the collagen fibers mineralization level. According to the results of the bone tissue investigation in the presence of connective tissue pathology using this method, it was possible to visualize the presence of cavities, which entails the change in the deposition structure of the bone mineral elements, the change in the formation of crystal combinations, and the change in the amount of mineral components per bone volume unit.

Key words: atomic-force microscopy, bone tissue.
