title: Scanning-electron-microscopical study of the seminal vesicle, coagulating gland, ampullary gland and ventral prostate in the golden hamster.
abstract: A study of the internal surfaces of the seminal vesicle, coagulating gland, ampullary gland and ventral prostate of the golden hamster was carried out by scanning electron microscopy. The internal surface of each of these glands was found to display characteristic features in topography and in arrangements of the microvilli. The features are useful in the identification of these glandular tissues in situ.
