Scanning electron microscopic studies on blood vessels in cancer of the larynx.

The injection replication method was used in a study of the vascular system in cancer of the larynx. Following maceration, clean microcorrosion casts of the blood vessels of larynx cancer were examined in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effective filling of the whole vasculature, including its finest capillaries, makes it possible to obtain really three-dimensional pictures of the tumor blood vessels in the SEM. These SEM pictures allow a more detailed and profound analysis of the behavior and arrangement of blood vessels in three basic, angioarchitectonically differentiated zones of the tumor.

Scanning electron microscopy of the cochlear vasculature.

Studies on the vascularization of the cochlea with conventional injection methods that use light microscopy have failed in viewing both the overall three-dimensional picture, as well as the detailed construction of the cochlea vascular blood vessels. This basic shortcoming can be omitted by the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on corrosion casts, which only presently has been introduced. The use of a commercial resin (Mercox) as an injected medium, followed by application of macerating fluids, provides clean and completely filled casts of the cochlea vascular system, which can then be inspected by SEM. This method not only confirms the general findings about cochlea vascularization but gives the opportunity to view the overall picture, as well as the detailed pattern of the intricate cochlear capillary beds.
