Phase-contrast SXCT scan of human incisor from the Epipalaeolithic period, EMME region. The image was collected at BEATS using a filtered white beam modality with peak X-ray energy of 36 keV and a voxel size of 6.5 µm. Number of projections: 2000. Exposure time: 0.9 ms. Scan time: 30 s. (a) Transverse section and (b) 3D rendering of the tooth virtually sectioned to expose features of interest. The following anatomical features are labelled: dental cementum (white arrow heads), dentine (stars) and cementodentinal junction (CDJ, black arrow heads). Sample courtesy of Dr Kirsi O.
