The submicroscopic structure of the throphoblast basement membrane and the collagen in the chorionic villi of human placentas was investigated by polarization microscopic technique. The study establishes a quantitatively measurable difference in the submicroscopic range of the placental membrane in relation to histologically classified disturbances of maturity.
