Figure 9From: Sensory epithelia of the fish inner ear in 3D: studied with high-resolution contrast enhanced microCTProjection of the 2D orientation patterns of ciliary bundles onto the 3D models of the macula utriculi. (A-B) Macula utriculi of S. tinanti in dorsal (A) and medial (B) views. (C) Macula utriculi of the black molly in medial view. Especially the strongly curved lacinia illustrates the value of orientation patterns shown in 3D. a, anterior; d, dorsal; l, lateral.Back to article page
