Four-image set of the cochlear partition (resolution 356 nm/pixel) viewed from scala media at angle bringing full length of outer hair cells into focus.
{"Image DocumentName": "Four-image set of the cochlear partition (resolution 356 nm/pixel) viewed from scala media at angle bringing full length of outer hair cells into focus.", "Image ImageDescription": "Cell stereocilia are visible, through the intact tectorial membrane, near frame bottom. A patch pipette (entering from R.) is attached to a third row outer hair cell, incrementing cell potential by 25 mV between successive frames. The cell responds by shortening visibly when depolarized within the intact organ of Corti. The mechanism depends on an integral membrane protein called prestin acting as a molecular motor..", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
