Thin slices of calcium alginate hydrogel and beads of calcium alginate hydrogel were immersed in calcein solution to observe the fiber structures that make up the calcium alginate hydrogel under a fluorescence microscope. The fiber structures had a bamboo-like structure with cavities and nodes, ranging from a few micrometers to several tens of micrometers in thickness. In this study, calcium alginate hydrogel is modeled by fiber structures through these observations.
