Cinephotomicroscopy of Living Tissues in Medical Research and Teaching: Insertion and Use of a Rabbit Ear Chamber for Time-Lapse and Standard Cinephotomicroscopy in the Living Animal

Sumner Wood

The construction and insertion of special plastic and glass windows or chambers into the ears of Laboratory Lop rabbits and optical and photographic equipment employed for high-magnification standard or time-lapse color cinephotomicroscopy of living cells and tissues without anesthesia are described in this paper. Using these time-lapse cinephotomicrographic records, the locomotion in vivo of white blood cells (leukocytes) and cancer cells (transplantable ascitic V2 carcinoma cells) of the rabbit have been analyzed.
