PIC mapping reveals the hidden crystal orientation structure in a large area of inner enamel. The map shows Hunter–Schreger bands, or decussation pattern, in inner enamel, with three groups of rods exposed on this polished surface: in longitudinal (left), transverse (right of center), and oblique (center, right) cross-sections. See Supplementary Fig. 3 for the exact position of this area in the tooth
