Section of temporomandibular joint?

  • 1.  Section of temporomandibular joint?

    Posted 01-25-2024 17:38

    As some of you know, I've been collaborating with Alicia DeMaria on a virtual microscope at the Dental School at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville (see: https://virtual-microscope.isg.siue.edu/SlideBox/).  Alicia was hoping that we could add a virtual-slide of a temporomandibular joint to the database.  It should be possible to get a nice section of a small mammal (rodent?) TMJ, but I don't have one.  I could have overlooked it, but it looks like VMD's collection does not include a TMJ.  If you have, or if you know someone who has, a nice section of a temporomandibular joint, could you please let me know?  I'm currently not set-up for scanning slides (I have the microscope, but I still need to get the computer and upgrade the software), so a scanned virtual-slide would be ideal, but I also would be interested in glass slides that I might borrow once I'm set-up to do scanning.

    My email address is: JRhodes98903@gmail.com.

    Many thanks for any help you can provide!
