Abstract

Vascular casts were made of rabbit aortas by infusing Batson's No. 17 anatomical corrosion compound into the artery at physiological pressure. The arterial tissue was then digested with sodium hydroxide and the cast viewed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Outlines of the endothelial cells and their silver stained boundaries were clearly visible. Cell nuclei and fine surface detail were also discernible. In EDTA damaged arteries, injured endothelial cells and platelets could also be observed in the vascular casts.
