EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of mouse molars, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the striking resemblance between these tiny teeth and their human counterparts. Each molar's crown, depicted in white, begins its development around the 11th day inside the mother's womb. As soon as birth occurs, the root starts growing from this crown. The photograph not only highlights the fascinating anatomy of these rodentia teeth but also emphasizes their importance for dental health. The enamel coating is vividly displayed, showcasing its role in protecting and preserving these vital structures. Additionally, it offers a glimpse into normal oral health for mice. With its sharp focus on every minute detail of mouse molars – from gum to dentin – this SEM image provides valuable insights into biological research and dental studies alike. By utilizing false coloring techniques, scientists have enhanced our understanding of tooth structure at a microscopic level. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional visual representation that bridges biology with artistry. This particular print serves as a testament to their commitment to capturing nature's wonders while providing educational resources for those interested in wildlife fauna or dental sciences.
