  • Title: Scanning electron microscopic observation of the crista ampullaris.
    Author: Harada Y, Takumida M, Tagashira N.
    Journal: Scan Electron Microsc; 1986; (Pt 2):537-42. PubMed ID: 3492034.
    Abstract:
    The crista ampullaris of the guinea pig and the bull frog were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The crista ampullaris were freeze fractured or sheared followed by maceration with 0.1% OsO4 solution. Following this, three-dimensional intracellular structures were observed. The mitochondria of the sensory cells varied in shape from globular to long and slender. Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum of the sensory cells were also demonstrated clearly. Nerve elements, nerve endings and synaptic structures were also observed stereoscopically.
