Scanning electron microscopic study of the red pulp of ferret spleen. 1989

Y Hataba, and T Suzuki

Scanning electron microscopy of the red pulp of ferret spleen showed areas of relatively wide splenic cord and rather poorly developed splenic sinuses of two different types. The inner aspect of most sinuses was covered with rod-shaped cells running in the longitudinal direction of the sinus. Stomata of these sinuses were recognized between the rod-like cells in a relatively regular lattice-like arrangement. The lining of other sinuses showed characteristics of the poorly differentiated sinuses, having a remarkable irregularity in form, size, and distribution of the lining cells and the stomata. The outer surface of the splenic sinuses was covered with attenuated reticular cell processes supporting the sinus. Sheathed capillaries which have a well-developed sheath structure were frequently found in the cordal area. Cordal capillaries were exclusively open into labyrinthine reticular tissue space of the cord with a funnel-shaped or a perforated saccular or ampullar terminal.

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.
