Investigations by scanning electron microscopy have revealed that ingestion of Rosalina floridana (Cushman) and Quinqueloculina seminulum (Linné) (Foraminiferida) by the common periwinkle Littorina littorea Linné results in severe etching of the surface veneer in the rotalids studied, and removal of the surface veneer and partial dissolution of the underlying tabular layer of calcite in the miliolids examined. The acidic nature of the digestive juices is suggested as the agent responsible for this phenomenon. Observations of test wall construction is compared to current models of calcite secretion.

Intestinal spirochetosis, an infection of the mucosa by spiral-shaped organisms, was studied in clinically normal rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) by histology, transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The incidence of intestinal spirochetosis was 42% in 221 monkeys. Spiral organisms stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) appeared as a broad basophilic haze on the colonic surface and were strongly positive by the Warthin-Starry stain. Spiral-shaped bacteria include two structurally different organisms: spirochetes and flagellated microbes. They intimately populated the brush border of the surface of the epithelium of the large intestine. They were absent in the crypts and in the small intestine. Infection by spirochetes produced no alteration of cytocomponents of the underlying host structures. Spirochetes and flagellates infrequently penetrated beyond the brush border into the epithelial cytoplasm and also into the lamina propria. Even in cases where invasion was documented, no inflammatory response was found.

Molluscum contagiosum is unique among the viral induced growths of the skin. Unlike other viral tumors, the molluscum contagiosum lesion is a mass made up of myriads of free, discrete virions. It is not a proliferating growth of epidermal keratinocytes such as one observes in the common wart. There is no better way to perceive the nature of this tumor mass than by scanning electron microscopy.Skin lesions of molluscum contagiosum were excised from patients and immediately fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde. After fixation the specimens were rinsed in Millonig’s Phosphate buffer. The entire lesion was than cross-sectioned with a razor blade, postfixed in 1% OsO4, rinsed again in buffer, dehydrated in grading ETOH, critical point dried, positioned on an aluminum stub and gold-coated. Examination was made using a JEOL SEM (JSM-35).
