[Modification of the construction and insertion of a viewing chamber for the study of microcirculation in the subcutaneous compartment of the rabbit ear].

Modification of the transparent chamber and the operation of its implantation into the tissues of the rabbit ear are described. The chamber is intended for the study of microcirculation in the subcutaneous cellular tissue of the rabbit ear. The chamber design has a number of advantages in comparison with the known models: optic characteristics are improved, assembly of the chamber is simplified, new design permits to use the regenerated tissue for further histological study. Sterilization of the chamber with gamma rays is simple and effective. The chamber is fixed in the tissues of the rabbit pinna by means of a lavsan net. An additional gluing of the latter excludes a possibility of the penetration and development of secondary infection into the operation wound and fixes the chamber in the ear tissues more firmly.
