| Popis: | To investigate morphology changes of artificial otoconia (CGC) in the presence of magnesium during growth under in vitro conditions.Investigating human otoconia by environmental scanning electron microscope and determining their magnesium content by energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX). Comparing structural and morphological data of human and artificial otoconia (CGC, CaEDX- and X-ray data reveals that the inorganic component in human otoconia consists of calcite containing a minor amount of magnesium substitution (CaMagnesium is an intrinsic component of human otoconia by partial substitution of calcium in the calcite crystal structure (Ca |
