AB  - Crystalline properties of synthetic nanostructured hydroxyapatite (n-HA) were 
      studied using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The 
      focal-series-restoration technique, obtaining exit-plane wavefunction and 
      spherical aberration-corrected images, was successfully applied for the first 
      time in this electron-beam-susceptible material. Multislice simulations and 
      energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were also employed to determine 
      unequivocally that n-HA particles of different size preserve stoichiometric 
      HA-like crystal structure. n-HA particles with sizes of twice the HA lattice 
      parameter were found. These results can be used to optimize n-HA sinterization 
      parameters to improve bioactivity.
