Figure 4 in The detection of weakly developed plicidentine in teleost teeth using 3D tomography

Figure 4. - Hyperopisus bebe (Mormyridae); tomographic image of the lingual dentary plate. A: Dorsal view of the lingual plate showing a number of side-by-side teeth with roundish apex; white arrow points to anterior; B: Virtual model of a part of the lingual plate showing on the foreground two pulp cavities with dentine folds (arrow heads); the teeth are constituted of a dentine core covered by a thick enameloid cap; white and black asterisks point to the roundish apex of teeth (de = dentine; en = enameloid); C: Virtual section crossing the pulp cavity of several teeth; the central one (b) shows sharp folds (arrowheads). Section of tooth (a) crosses the higher part of the pulp cavity and the dentine (de) appears as a circular section; it is overlain by a thin enameloid layer (en). Scale bars: A = 2.5 mm; B = 1 mm; C = 0.5 µm.
