Developing tooth, light micrograph
Developing tooth, light micrograph. At centre are odontoblasts (purple) overlaying the dental pulp. A layer of dentine (red) surrounds the pulp. The outer ameloblasts (purple) will form the enamel (not present here) to overlay the dentine. Blood vessels and alveolar bone are seen to the left. Magnification: x100 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a developing tooth, as captured through a light micrograph. At its center, we can observe the odontoblasts in a striking shade of purple, delicately overlaying the dental pulp. Surrounding this vital core is a layer of dentine, depicted in vibrant red hues. The outermost layer consists of ameloblasts, also seen in purple tones; these specialized cells will eventually form the enamel that overlays the dentine. To fully appreciate the complexity and interconnectedness within our bodies, this image offers us an insight into one aspect of our oral health. It reminds us that growth and development occur on microscopic levels as well. The left side of the photograph reveals blood vessels and alveolar bone structures, providing further context to this remarkable biological process. When printed at 10 centimeters tall with a magnification factor of x100, every minute detail becomes visible to the naked eye. This visually stunning representation serves as a testament to both science and artistry. It highlights not only our fascination with understanding life's intricacies but also celebrates nature's ability to create such wonders within us all - reminding us how truly extraordinary even seemingly ordinary aspects like teeth can be.
