3.6  POJA-L107 

Title: Dentinoenamel junction in longitudinal section of tooth

Description: 
Thin ground section, human adult.  From left to right:

• Enamel with fine striation (course of enamel rods or prisms).
• Few enamel tufts (left, dark) consisting of hypocalcified enamel rods and interprismatic substance arise from the junction.
• Scallop-like course of dentinoenamel junction.
• Dentin with dentinal tubules to the dentinoenamel junction; close to the junction they show numerous branches.

3.6  POJA-L140

Title: Dentinal tubules  in longitudinal section of tooth 

Description:
Thin ground section, polarizing microscopy (optical axes of the polarizing plates are crossed at 60°), human adult.  
Slightly oblique  section close to the dentinoenamel junction:
It shows dentinal tubules depicted by brown-stained stubble structures containing odontoblastic processes (Tomes’ fibers) in a semi-three dimensional way. Numerous fine branches of these processes are obvious in dentin.
