Lateral wall structure in a CD/1 mouse. The left panel shows a light microscopy section of stria vascularis (sv) spiral prominence (sp) and the spiral ligament containing five types of fibrocyte (I—V). Scale bar = 50 μm. Panels (A–E) show fibrocyte types I to V by transmission electron microscopy. They have varying numbers of small processes (arrows) and differences in the density of cytoplasm (cy) and organelle content. Scale bars: (A,C) = 5 μm; (B,D,E) = 2 μm (adapted with permission from Mahendrasingam et al., 2011a).
