Figure 6.

Backscattered SEMs of D14 mandibular molars of Ambn ^+/+ (Wild‐type), Ambn ^+/lacZ (Ambn ^±) heterozygous, and Ambn ^lacZ/lacZ (Ambn ^−/−) null mice following soft tissue removal. These images show the molars immediately prior to their eruption into occlusion. The top and third rows are lingual views; the second and bottom rows are occlusal views. The null molars show thin cusps and surface accumulation of an irregular crusty material. Mild surface roughness of the heterozygous molar relative to the wild‐type is most evident from the occlusal views. Another set of molars is shown in Figure S13. Scale bars = 500 µm
