Abstract：
:Although the tectorial membrane has a key role in the function of the organ of Corti, its structural relationship within the cochlear partition is still not fully characterised. Being an acellular structure, the tectorial membrane is not readily stained with dyes and is thus difficult to visualise. We present here detailed observations of the unfixed tectorial membrane in an in vitro preparation of the guinea pig cochlea using confocal microscopy. By perfusing the fluid compartments within the cochlear partition with fluorochrome-conjugated dextran solutions, the tectorial membrane stood out against the bright background. The tectorial membrane was seen as a relatively loose structure as indicated by the dextran molecules being able to diffuse within its entire volume. There were, however, regions showing much less staining, demonstrating a heterogeneous organisation of the membrane. Especially Hensen's stripe and regions facing the outer hair cell bundles appeared more condensed. Whereas no connections between Hensen's stripe and the inner hair cell bundles could be observed, there was clearly a contact zone between the stripe and the reticular lamina inside of the inner hair cell.
