A newly developed desktop microtomograph was used to evaluate whether it is suitable for visualizing the three-dimensional (3D) morphology of the mouse inner ear (at a micrometer level) and whether it is applicable as a fast screening tool to detect hereditary abnormalities in this organ.

## Abstract Studies on the elasmobranch inner ear have focused predominantly on a small group of sharks, particularly, carcharhinids. As a result, subsequent studies in other species have subdivided species into two main groups: those typical and those atypical of carcharhinid sharks. This study pr
It has been shown that the short ear gene (seautosomal recessive) in the house mouse has a number of morphological effects (Lynch, '21; Snell, '31, '35; Castle et al., '36; Law, '38; Green and McNutt, '41; Green and Green, '46b). These effects include reduction in size of the ear, reduction in body
Arylsulfatase A (cerebroside sulfate sulfatase E.C.3.1.6.1.), a lysosomal hydrolase participating in the catabolism of sulfatide (cerebroside sulfate), is assayed in vitro by the synthetic chromogenic sulfate ester of phenol or by the natural sulfatide substrate [l]. Deficiency of arylsulfatase A (A
