This paper describes results of one part of an investigation concerned with the transducer process in hair plate receptors of the honey bee. The object of this part was to study in parallel the fine structure and the adequate stimulating events affecting cellular structures. The aim has been to get information (a) on the cellular elements involved in the early stages of the transducer process, and (b) on the kind of mechanical distortion which is effective in stimulating these structures.
The study of these questions in hair-plate receptors or similar sensilla may be particularly relevant to general transducer physiology because of the special construction of these receptors: The stimulating effect on the nerve cell appears to be restricted to a small region; in this region structural specializations can be observed; such specializations may be related to the question of which cellular elements constitute the first stages of the mechanical sensory...
