Jawbone, SEM
Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a cross-section through a jawbone. Bundles of collagen fibres (brown) are embedded in the bone (grey). The collagen fibres extend through the periodontal gap and adhere to the cementum that covers the root of the tooth, anchoring the tooth in the jaw. The picture was created as part of a cooperation with Quintessenz Publishing. Magnification: x1300 when printed at 15cm wide., by EYE OF SCIENCE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
