  1. If you were wondering how #dental #enamel resists years of damage and wear, the "enamel rods" are tightly packed, long structures composed of hydroxy(l)apatite nanowires. This highly organized pattern of enamel rods achieves exceptional durability and resistance to mechanical stress.

  7. Here's a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of #bone showing mineralized #collagen and an #osteocyte lacuna containing microcalcifications of #apatite and #whitlockite.

    Such #calcification or #mineral formation is part of normal physiological processes such as #apoptosis but can also indicate #pathology.

    The specimen was prepared using focussed ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM).
