The orientation of crystallite populations in enamel. (Left) A sketch of a tooth with an indication of the measured sample volume. The tooth was sectioned in the xy plane and the incident beam hit the sample in the −z direction. Enamel prisms are assumed to be oriented perpendicular to the enamel surface, according to results from the literature. The measured 3D orientation of different crystallite populations is indicated by coloured glyphs: Pop1 roughly in the x direction with some tilt, Pop3 roughly in the y direction and Pop2 in an oblique direction. |
