These pages are intended as an information source for scientists who would like easy access to descriptions and images of tooth enamels and for those who wish to make enamel preparations of their own for SEM viewing. Our email addresses are given above to make communication easy; feel free to send us your questions.
We have begun with rodent incisor enamel, a subject with which we are both knowledgeable: Rodent incisor enamel types. Thomas's tooth preparation technique for SEM viewing. Wighart's "Glossary of Enamel Microstructure."
