Golden hamster diaphragms were observed with both light and electron microscopes to examine the distribution of lymphatic stomata and their morphological features. Lymphatic stomata were present on the inferior surface but absent on the superior surface. This observation was also supported by the results of India ink injection into the peritoneal and pleural cavities. On the inferior surface of the diaphragm, lymphatic stomata tended to form radial rows running from the centre to the periphery; i.e. they were found throughout the muscular and tendinous portions, although the density of their distribution was higher in the latter. Lymphatics and lymphatic lacunae in the tendinous portion were generally smaller than those in the muscular portion. Lymphatic flow into the lymphatics of the tendinous portion seems to be slow, suggesting that lymphatic stomata in the portion may be a functionally inactive reserve.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D002244 Carbon A nonmetallic element with atomic symbol C, atomic number 6, and atomic weight [12.0096; 12.0116]. It may occur as several different allotropes including DIAMOND; CHARCOAL; and GRAPHITE; and as SOOT from incompletely burned fuel. Carbon-12,Vitreous Carbon,Carbon 12,Carbon, Vitreous
D003964 Diaphragm The musculofibrous partition that separates the THORACIC CAVITY from the ABDOMINAL CAVITY.
