Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of bacteria and other microbes collected from a healthy gingival sulcus, the space between the tooth and gum. A nonkeratinised epithelial cell (brown) shed from the gum is at bottom right. The picture was created as part of a cooperation with Quintessenz Publishing. Magnification: x6,000 when printed at 15cm wide.
