Abstract

The OBI is commercially available in the United States through the Storz Instrument Co., and was specifically designed for the biopsy of human OE. OE on biopsy specimens obtained with this instrument are meant to be free of crush artifact and therefore are satisfactory for electron microscopic (EM) analysis (Figs. 1 and 2). The technique which uses this instrumentation is routinely performed with magnification but without direct visualization of the superior turbinate. This currently represents one of the most popular techniques for the purpose of harvesting human olfactory mucosa.
