The round window membrane and cochlear aqueduct complex in the guinea pig are reconstructed with 3D-imaging, using orthogonal plane fluorescence optical sectioning (OPFOS). The 3D-images show that the periotic duct and the aqueduct are connected to a pouch-like extension of the round window. The function of this may be regulation of aqueduct flow resistance under the influence of a pressure difference between inner ear fluid and middle ear.
利用正交平面荧光光学切片（OPFOS）三维成像技术重建了豚鼠的圆窗膜和蜗水管复合体。三维图像显示，耳周管和蜗水管与圆窗的囊状延伸部分相连。其功能可能是在内耳液和中耳之间的压力差影响下调节蜗水管的流动阻力。
