Summary
A new technique for quantitative evaluation and easy documentation of cochlear pathology is reported. The cochleas of any laboratory animal can be entirely studied in surface preparation as well as sectionned at any desired place and angle for light and EM examination of all parts including the spiral ganglion and stria.
Zusammenfassung
Es wird über eine neue Technik zur lückenlosen quantitativen Auswertung und Dokumentation pathologischer Veränderungen in der Cochlea berichtet. Die Schnecken beliebiger Versuchstiere können sowohl im Oberflächenpräparat ganz übersehen als auch an jeder gewünschten Stelle in jeder beliebigen Richtung für Licht- und Elektronenmikroskopie geschnitten und untersucht werden, einschließlich Ganglion spirale und Stria vascularis.
