Human tooth fractured enamel, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Fracture in a tooth revealing the enamel rod morphology. Tooth enamel is the highly mineralized covering of the crown of a tooth. It is the hardest and most highly mineralized...

Human tooth with accumulation of bacterial plaque (smooth areas) and calcified tartar (rough areas) on enamel surface, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Plaque is the sticky, colourless film of bacteria that forms on teeth. You can sense...

Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Oral bacterium, Streptococcus mutans with surrounding dextran polysaccharide mucilage (glucan). S. mutans is a coccoid shaped, Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic bacterium that is part of the normal...

Used wax dental floss with cheek cells (orange) and bacteria (blue) on dental floss fibres (brown), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Cheek cells often get scraped from the inside of your mouth when flossing your teeth. Numerous bacteria...

Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Bacillus versus Coccus bacteria morphology. Fusobacterium sp., Gram-negative, anaerobic, non-motile, bacillus prokaryote (characterized by a long, slender shape and pointed ends). Streptococcus sp. -...

A blade of grass with a serrated edge (Paspalum sp), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Plants evolve specialized physical and chemical characteristics in natural defence against stresses in their environments. The sharp saw-toothed edge of...
