Abstract

AbstractThermal wave imaging of hard tissue is demonstrated for the first time using a technique described as photothermal radiometric (PTR) microscopy. Images of human bone and whale dentine suggest that the thermal wave image reveals variations in tissue density and can provide similar information to microradiography or backscattered electron imaging, to which it is now an alternative requiring a minimum of sample preparation.
