[A scanning electron microscopy study of the ependyma in the lateral cerebral ventricle in humans]. 1989

A Mitro, and S Polák, and J Pogády

The apical surface of ependymal cells in the cornu anterius of the lateral ventricle of the brain was studied in man. The surface of ependymal cells displays varied differentiation, the cells have microvilli, spherical processes, and cilia. In the cornu anterius ependymal cells without cilia as well as with one cilium and even several cilia were observed. Different types of cells occur in groups forming so-called ependymal areas, which are constituents of the lining of the ventricular walls. Ependymal areas with a large number of cilia were recorded along with areas without cilia and so-called transitory ependymal areas with a small number of cilia. There are no sharp borderlines between the individual areas.

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.
