Scanning electron micrographs of the horizontal crista ampullas in postnatal 14 days miniature pigs. a (1): low magnification image of the crista from wild miniature pig with numerous hair cells throughout the sensory epithelium; a (2): high magnification image of the central apical region from wild miniature pig; b (1): low magnification image of the crista from MITF-mutation porcine model with numerous hair cells throughout the sensory epithelium; b (2): high magnification image of the central apical region from MITF-mutation porcine model. Scale bars = 1 mm in a (1) & b (1) and, 100 μm in a (2) & b (2)
