New method allows non-destructive study of fish teeth

  • Can we examine the teeth of living fish and other vertebrates in detail, repeatedly over time, without harming them? Previously, small animals often had to be euthanized to obtain precise information,

The article from MSN discusses a groundbreaking study published in the journal *Proceedings of the Royal Society B*, where researchers have developed a new method to study fish teeth without causing any damage to the specimens. Traditionally, examining the internal structures of fish teeth required destructive techniques like sectioning or grinding. However, this new approach utilizes high-resolution X-ray microtomography, a non-invasive imaging technique, to visualize and analyze the internal and external structures of fish teeth in three dimensions. This method has allowed scientists to explore the dental morphology, growth patterns, and evolutionary adaptations of fish teeth from various species, providing insights into their feeding habits, ecological roles, and evolutionary history. The study highlights the potential of this technique for broader applications in paleontology, evolutionary biology, and conservation, as it preserves the integrity of museum specimens and rare samples for future research.
