Figure 9. — Various hAM preparations. Scanning electron microscopy. (a1) (1000×) Epithelial side of a native hAM in plain shot. (a2) (5000×) Epithelial side of a native hAM in inclined shot. The hAM showed the typical hexagonal architecture of the epithelium. Marked with red: exemplary cell boundaries. (b) (100×) Epithelial side of a de-epithelialized hAM in plain shot. The hexagonal epithelium was completely removed, although rare detritus remained (arrow). (c1–c3) (1000×) Inclined shot of the stromal side of a native hAM, and plain shots of a de-epithelialized membrane and a recolonized hAM. The native membrane and the de-epithelialized hAM showed no cells, the latter showing occasional fissures (arrows). The re-epithelialized hAM had a confluent typical fibroblast network. (d1–d2) (1000×) Epithelial side of a hAM at the end of the air–liquid culture in plain and inclined shot. The epithelium showed a typical morphology with several rounded cells (arrows) found above.
