A: Otic capsule bone drilled to a thin shell to reveal contours of the cochlea. The membranous labyrinth has been stained with osmium so that it appears dark through the thinned bone. An implant electrode array had been inserted into this specimen and a portion of the array can be seen at lower left. B: Similar preparation in which the bone overlying scala vestibuli has been removed to show the osmium-stained basilar membrane and osseous spiral lamina.

Scanning electron micrograph of the spiral ligament beneath the attachment of the basilar membrane to the lateral cochlear wall (the attachment zone of the basilar membrane is indicated by the dotted line at upper left). As in Figure 26, note the porous, mesh-like texture of the spiral ligament. In the region shown here three blood vessels (arrows) are seen coursing very near the surface of the spiral ligament.

Scanning electron microscopic view of the surface of the spiral ligament in the area immediately below the attachment of the basilar membrane. (The site of attachment of the basilar membrane to the lateral wall tissues in indicated by the dotted line.) Note the highly porous, mesh-like structure of the spiral ligament surface.
