Studies on the vascularization of the cochlea with conventional injection methods that use light microscopy have failed in viewing both the overall three-dimensional picture, as well as the detailed construction of the cochlea vascular blood vessels. This basic shortcoming can be omitted by the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on corrosion casts, which only presently has been introduced. The use of a commercial resin (Mercox) as an injected medium, followed by application of macerating fluids, provides clean and completely filled casts of the cochlea vascular system, which can then be inspected by SEM. This method not only confirms the general findings about cochlea vascularization but gives the opportunity to view the overall picture, as well as the detailed pattern of the intricate cochlear capillary beds.
用传统注射方法并借助光学显微镜对耳蜗血管化进行的研究，未能呈现耳蜗血管的整体三维图像及其详细结构。使用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）观察腐蚀铸型可以克服这一基本缺陷，不过目前这种方法才刚刚引入。使用商用树脂（Mercox）作为注射介质，随后施加浸软液，可得到耳蜗血管系统干净且完全填充的铸型，然后用扫描电子显微镜进行检查。这种方法不仅证实了关于耳蜗血管化的一般研究结果，还能让人有机会观察到整体情况以及复杂的耳蜗毛细血管床的详细形态。
