This illustrates the use of the Bone Saw to produce segments, 1mm to 2mm in width, from the tooth of a small rodent. The tooth saw may also be used for this work.

Cross-section through a rat skull cut using the bone saw. Like the sagital section in the next example both hard and soft tissue are preserved intact.
