title: Scanning electron microscopic study of long flexors in human fingers.
abstract: A scanning electron microscopic (SEM) study of the digital long flexors of the human hand has provided a greater magnification and an increased resolution that facilitated the study of the architecture and the correlation of their structure to their functional activity. The observations are comparable to reports based on gross anatomic and light microscopic studies previously reported by others.
