Surface View of the Guinea Pig Otolithic Membrane

Abstract
Providing direct three-dimensional visualization, scanning electron microscopy gives more detailed information about shape, surface and arrangement pattern of the statoconia than all previous methods. Scanning electron microscopic surface views of the guinea pig otolithic membrane are presented, and the relevance of the results is discussed with respect to functional problems and to questions concerning the formation of the statoconia crystals.
