The use of the Scanning Electron Microscope has made it possible through observation to study the human cervical mucus through the various stages of the ovarian cycle, as well as to describe the significant variations of the meshed woof making up the ultrastructure during the ovarian cycle. While the slackening of the woof and the dimension of the meshes are minimal at both the beginning and end of the cycle, they reach a maximum on forteenth day. In the ovulatory period, lateral expansions from the filaments are numerous. On the other hand, median and terminal thicknesses are almost inexistant during the same period : their frequency decreases during the first part of the cycle, then increases during the luteal phase. During both the preceding and following days of ovulation, one can observe numerous twistings at the level of the filaments which probably express the relaxation and then contraction of the latter. The preparatory technique as well as the method of observation used appear reliable enough to allow a comparison of the cervical mucus ultrastructure in varied physiological, pathological and experimental situations.
扫描电子显微镜的应用使得通过观察来研究人类宫颈黏液在卵巢周期的各个阶段成为可能，同时也能够描述构成超微结构的交织网在卵巢周期中的显著变化。虽然在周期开始和结束时网的松弛以及网眼的尺寸最小，但在第14天达到最大值。在排卵期，细丝的侧向扩张很多。另一方面，在此期间中间和末端厚度几乎不存在：它们的频率在周期的第一部分降低，然后在黄体期增加。在排卵前后的日子里，在细丝水平可以观察到许多扭曲，这可能表示细丝的松弛然后收缩。所使用的制备技术以及观察方法似乎足够可靠，能够在各种生理、病理和实验情况下对宫颈黏液超微结构进行比较。
