N2 - For the first time, special scanning electron microscopical preparation techniques, i.e. chemical
dehydration and air drying with examethyldisilacane, were used to study the Phylactolaemata. This approach depicted the growth form of colonies and the outer structures of zooids of Plumatella casmiana
and P. fungosa three-dimensionally. The structures of cystids and polypids, for example the cystid
wall, lophophore, gut, funiculus and the muscles, are represented using dissected zooids. Moreover, this
technique revealed the structures of both asexual reproduction (the buds, the generation and germination of statoblasts) and the organs for sexual reproduction (testis, ovary, embryo sac, larva).
