Abstract
The 3-dimensional angio-architecture of the human infant choroid is studied using An-Pd-coated plastic corrosion casts and scanning electron microscopy. Anatomic identification of choroidal arterioles and venules allows these vessels to be traced into the choriocapillaris. The characteristic arrangement of endothelial cell nuclear indentations clearly differentiate arterioles from venules. These vessels can be pictured with the use of microdissection techniques.
