Abstract
The fascicles obtained from mouse tail tendons were immersed in a collagenase solution. These fascicles were stretched to failure. Microstructure of the fibrils obtained from these fascicles was observed with a dark-field microscope and atomic force microscope. Decomposition of collagen molecules induced the breaking of these fibrils. Therefore, the tensile strength and strain at failure of these fascicles were decreased.
