Dimensions of the Cochlea (Guinea Pig)

Measurements have been made under the microscope of many structures in the cochlea of the guinea pig and the results plotted graphically as a function of position along the cochlea. The structures measured are the spiral lamina, Rosenthal's canal, the basilar membrane (length, width and thickness), the channels and windows of the cochlea (cross‐section area) and the hair cells (angles of orientation).
