Abstract:
Guinea pig cochleae were prepared for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The lateral surface of the outer hair cells was studied first with secondary electrons. It was possible to find a network of tubular cisterns and long mitochondria stained by osmium immediately under the plasma membrane detected by backscattered electrons. The lateral arrangement of the mitochondria and the tubular cisterns was confirmed by observing the embedded SEM tissues by transmission electron microscopy.
