Abstract
Scanning electron microscopy, specular microscopy and staining techniques were used in a short-term study of the standard method of cryopreservation [in rabbit corneas]. Correlation of the techniques revealed that the endothelium had an atypical morphology, showed apparent evidence of latent cell damage and lacked function.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
