Effects Of Castration Upon The Morphology Of The Accessory Sex Organs Of The Male Rat - A Scanning Electron Microscopy Study, R. Wahlqvist, E. Dahl, K. J. Tveter
Effects Of Castration Upon The Morphology Of The Accessory Sex Organs Of The Male Rat - A Scanning Electron Microscopy Study, R. Wahlqvist, E. Dahl, K. J. Tveter
Scanning Microscopy
A systematic, comparative study of the accessory sex glands of the adult male rat after androgen withdrawal was carried out. The changes were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy at different intervals after surgical castration. The main common signs of epithelial cell involution were flattening of the cell surface, reduction of the size and number of microvilli, some blurring of the cell borders, cessation of secretory activity and diminution of the luminal volume of the glands. Overall, confident signs of atrophy were evident after one week, and complete epithelial involution was reached by the third week. The epithelial cell atrophy …

Scanning Electron Microscopy Of The Accessory Sex Glands Of The Adult Male Rat, R. Wahlqvist, E. Dahl, K. J. Tveter
Scanning Microscopy
This study describes the morphology of the accessory sex glands of the adult male rat as observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The purpose was to obtain a systematic and comparative SEM description of these glands and to evaluate different preparation techniques. A common morphological feature is polyhedral delineation of the cells, which exhibited a variable convexity of their apical surface. The cell apices were more or less studded with microvilli. Nevertheless, it was possible to distinguish the glands by their surface morphology. In the ventral prostate, there was a considerable heterogeneity in cell surface appearance. The lateral lobe bad …
Tc-Mapping And Investigation Of Water-Initiated Modification Of Yba2cu3o7-X Thin Films By Low Temperature Scanning Electron Microscopy, A. V. Bobyl, M. E. Gaevski, S. G. Konnikov, D. V. Shantsev, V. A. Solov'ev, R. A. Suris
Tc-Mapping And Investigation Of Water-Initiated Modification Of Yba2cu3o7-X Thin Films By Low Temperature Scanning Electron Microscopy, A. V. Bobyl, M. E. Gaevski, S. G. Konnikov, D. V. Shantsev, V. A. Solov'ev, R. A. Suris
Scanning Microscopy
The Tc -mapping method using low temperature scanning electron microscopy (LTSEM) has been developed to study the spatial distribution of the critical temperature in high temperature superconducting (HTSC) films with a spatial resolution approaching 2 μm. To achieve so high a spatial resolution, a numerical deconvolution method was applied that eliminated distorting effects associated with the thermal diffusion and with the contribution from the absorbed beam current. The Tc -mapping method was used to investigate modification by water of YBa2Cu3O7-x films grown on (100) MgO and (110) LaAIO3 substrates. The rate of …
