Placental Imaging

A - a transmission electron micrograph of terminal villi showing microvillous membrane (MVM), an underlying capillary (CAP), a syncytiotrophoblast (S), a trophoblast (T) and endothelium (E).

B - projection of an imaged stack (wholemount confocal microscopy), stained with lectin FITC‐AAL for the endothelium (green), rhodamine‐PSA for the stroma (red) and biotin‐DSL for the trophoblast (violet); the DSL was detected with streptavidin 680 and imaging was on a Leica Sp5 confocal microscope, presented as an image stack.

C - villous microcirculation of a term normal placenta perfused with a Ulex Europaeus Agglutinin (UEA) lectin linked to biotin and detected with streptavidin 800.

D - microCT image of a vascular corrosion cast of a term placenta, infused through the umbilical artery with Batson's resin, which was then set, followed by tissue corrosion steps for several days in 20% (w/v) potassium hydroxide.
