Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of fibroblast cells on a growing tooth root from a 17 year old boy. Fibroblasts are cells that produce connective tissue such as collagen, the main structural protein in the body. Collagen fibres (brown) produced by these cells may become part of the desmodentium, the collagen fibres that anchor the tooth to the jawbone. The picture was created as part of a cooperation with Quintessenz Publishing. Magnification: x3, 800 when printed at 15cm wide. | |
