The three kinds of keratinized epithelium evident on gross examination of the soft palate of Wistar albino rats were studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Scanning indicated a central area where the epithelium showed numerous fine folds and papillae, more lateral areas which were smooth, and most lateral areas with fine folds only. At high magnifications the cell surfaces were seen to be pitted with numerous small craters. However, all three epithelia had a similar appearance under the transmission electron microscope, namely that of keratinized oral epithelia. The gross surface differences probably reflect functional modifications.
通过扫描电子显微镜和透射电子显微镜对Wistar白化大鼠软腭大体检查中可见的三种角化上皮进行了研究。扫描显示，上皮有一个中央区域，有许多细小褶皱和乳头，更外侧的区域光滑，最外侧的区域只有细小褶皱。在高倍放大下，细胞表面可见有许多小坑。然而，在透射电子显微镜下，所有三种上皮的外观相似，即角化口腔上皮的外观。大体表面差异可能反映了功能上的改变。
