We demonstrated the ultrastructures of the nasal mucosa of the rat by rapid freezing and freeze substitution with OsO4. Liquid helium was used for the rapid freezing. The depth of the good preservation was approximately 20 micron below the cut surface of the tissue. The characteristic features of the nasal mucosa obtained here are as follows: 1) The cross-section profiles of the cilium were round and smooth. 2) Mitochondrial matrix was electron dense and a few dense granules were observed in it. 3) Secretory granules of the goblet cells were enclosed by a limited membrane. 4) Extracellular space was of variable widths. 5) Cytoplasmic filaments were well preserved.

D009993 Osmium Tetroxide (T-4)-Osmium oxide (OsO4). A highly toxic and volatile oxide of osmium used in industry as an oxidizing agent. It is also used as a histological fixative and stain and as a synovectomy agent in arthritic joints. Its vapor can cause eye, skin, and lung damage. Osmic Acid,Acid, Osmic,Tetroxide, Osmium

D006371 Helium A noble gas with the atomic symbol He, atomic number 2, and atomic weight 4.003. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is not combustible and does not support combustion. It was first detected in the sun and is now obtained from natural gas. Medically it is used as a diluent for other gases, being especially useful with oxygen in the treatment of certain cases of respiratory obstruction, and as a vehicle for general anesthetics.
