| Abstract: | Summary The temporal bone from the fetal and adult mouse and brain from fetal and adult rat were cryosectioned in a conventional cryostat at –30° C using 16  m thick sections. The elemental composition was analyzed in the fluid-filled spaces of the membraneous labyrinth and ventricular cavities of the brain. After drying these spaces contained small crystal-like aggregations of material which morphologically differed depending on their elemental composition. This changed during embryonic maturation. The qualitative X-ray analytical microscopy seems to be a reliable method to follow changes in the elemental composition of fluids.Supported by grant no 12X-720 from the Swedish Medical Research Council.
