Left: Micro-computer tomography of a complete tooth; the cross-section next to it shows internal structures. Top right: Micro-CT section of the same volume shows absorption. Below are intensity distributions of fluorescence measurements of phosphorus, calcium and zinc. While the main components calcium and phosphorus are distributed homogeneously, the zinc concentration increases towards the pulp.
