Caption

Scanning electron microscopy of fractured incisors from 16 week old wild-type and Amelx^tm1Kul/Amelx^tm1Kul mice. The enamel (E) and junction with dentin (D) are shown. A: Wild-type mouse. B: The enamel from the Amelx^tm1Kul/Amelx^tm1Kul mouse does not have a normal prismatic structure and is markedly reduced in thickness compared with that of the wild-type mouse shown at the same magnification as A. C: Higher magnification of the enamel layer from the mutant mouse. Arrowheads indicate enamel thickness. Bars in A and B, 10um; C, 1um.
