Abstract

Comparative studies of the spiral ganglion cells in guinea pigs and rats, subsequent to osmium and glutaraldehyde fixation were undertaken to demonstrate the structure of their myelin sheets. We believe that the myelin sheets consist only out of loose and compact myelin components, which can be seen using glutaraldehyde fixation. The so called semicompact myelin must be an artefact due to osmiumfixation followed by a slight shrinkage of the ganglion cells with tearing of the compact myelin.
