Summary
In Ferrissia wautieri calcium is stored in the connective tissue in intracellular calcareous spherules. The cells have been studied light- and electronmicroscopically and a mineralogical analysis of the spherules was done by selective staining, dissolution, polarisation and electron diffraction. The results of these studies show that the aspect, the number, the volume and the rate of cristallisation of the calcospherites are different according to the seasons. Therefore it may be assumed that the characteristics of the spherules are connected with metabolic variations in these animals.
Résumé
Le calcium s'accumule dans les tissues de Ferrissia wautieri sous forme de sphérules de calcaire intracellulaires. Notre travail comporte une étude descriptive de ces cellules en microscopie optique et électronique, et une étude minéralogique abordée par des techniques de coloration, de dissolution, de polarisation de la lumière et de diffraction électronique. Les résultats obtenus montrent que les sphérules, par leur aspect, leur nombre, leur volume et leur état de cristallisation, présentent des caractères différents selon la saison, ce qui permet d'établir une relation entre l'état des nodules calcaires et les variations du métabolisme des individus.
