Figure 2. Transmission electron micrograph of crystals grown in 10% gelatin-1.5% amelogenin gel, indicating the formation of apatite crystals. The insert shows the corresponding electron diffraction pattern. The arrowhead reflections 1 and 2 correspond to lattice spacings of 3.44 and 2.74 Å, respectively, which are characteristic of hydroxyapatite.
