Virtual sectioned cochlea in 5.5 μm resolution. (A) 3D rendering of a 100 voxel thick cochlear section of sample S1 with colors identical to Figure 6. Fibers in the sectioned modiolus (Mo) are traceable toward spiral ganglion (SG) until the level of the spiral limbus (SL). The inset circle shows a magnification of the organ of Corti with an area of enhanced contrast near the outer hair cells. StrV Stria Vascularis. ST scala tympani. SV scala vestibule. RM Reissner's membrane. The RM was damaged (^∧), probably due to preprocessing. (B) Monochromatic 3D rendering shows a close-up of SV and scala media (SM). Organ of Corti (OC) is virtually sectioned and reveals the tunnel of Corti (^*). The spiral prominence (SP) is visualized as a convex bulge below the StrV.
