Abstract
The specular microscope revealed little of the internal features of the corneal endothelium [rabbit], but in certain experimental and clinical situations vague markings of 4 different appearances occurred and indicated intracellular disturbances. Comparison of the specular microscopical appearances of the affected cells in vitro with stained flat-mount preparations of the same cells showed that 3 of the markings were due to intracellular vacuoles and the 4th to cell rupture. The differing specular microscopical appearances of the vacuoles were discussed.
