Hydrosalpinx simplex as seen by the scanning electron microscope. 1977

E Patek, and L Nilsson

Five cases of hydrosalpinx simplex were studied by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Comparison was made with normal fallopian tube epithelia. By light microscopy numerous ciliated cells as well as nonciliated cells were found in both hydrosalpinx and normal tubal material. In hydrosalpinx material the epithelium was found to be compressed to one-sixth its usual height. The SEM survey of large areas of hydrosalpinx did not reveal any deciliation. In fact, the mucosa of the hydrosalpinx did not differ conspiciously from that of a healthy fallopian tube. However, some nonciliated cells with collapsed areas were revealed by SEM. The significance of the compressed areas is unknown.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
