[Study of the lympho- and hemomicrocirculatory bed of lymph nodes by scanning electron microscopy].

The spatial interrelation of the lymphatic and blood beds has been studied in the lymph node together with its stromal and lymphoid elements, using scanning electron microscopy of corrosive casts and native preparations. There is a great variety of pathways for lymph transport and blood vessels in dependence of their localization in the lymph node. Of a special interest are the pathways of lymphocytes migration across the walls in the cortical and medullary sinuses and in the postcapillary venules, as well as participation of the reticular tissue in the lymph node immune reactions.
