title: Three-dimensional reconstruction of the pigeon inner ear.
abstract: Three-dimensional reconstructions of the inner ear of the pigeon (Columba livia domestica), from two-dimensional images, obtained with (conventional) light microscopy or orthogonal-plane fluorescence optical sectioning (OPFOS), are presented. The results are compared with available information on the dimensions and orientation of the semicircular canals.
