Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray analysis (SEM/EDS) have been used to study the internal micromorphology of the frons plate in the Oriental hornet, Vespa orientalis. A conical shaped organ was described which is recessed into the frons plate and projects toward the interior of the acoustic box. The latter is located on the inner side of the frons plate. On the exterior of the conical region are observed aggregates containing Ca and Si, and a thin transparent membrane bearing a hole in its center. The innermost surface of the conical structure terminates bluntly as a convex lentiform tip, bearing a transparent oval-shaped window in its center. The conical organ, excepting the window, is enclosed in several layers of epithelium. The structure of this many-layered conical organ is highly complex; its numerous sub-structures and the possible role as a gravity sense organ are discussed. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
扫描电子显微镜和能量色散X射线分析（SEM/EDS）已被用于研究东方大黄蜂（Vespa orientalis）额板的内部微观形态。描述了一种圆锥形器官，它凹入额板并向声学箱内部突出。声学箱位于额板内侧。在圆锥形区域的外部观察到含有钙和硅的聚集体，以及中心有一个孔的薄透明膜。圆锥形结构的最内表面钝端终止为一个凸起的透镜状尖端，其中心有一个透明的椭圆形窗口。除了窗口外，圆锥形器官被几层上皮细胞包围。这种多层圆锥形器官的结构高度复杂；讨论了其众多子结构以及作为重力感觉器官的可能作用。© 1993威利 - 利斯公司。
