Abstract
This study on the perilimbal zone of the guinea pig conjunctival epithelium describes the ultrastructural organization of the basal cell layer, including basal epithelial cells, melanocytes and small lymphocytes, as well as the intermediate cell layers consisting of polyhedral cells and processes from the melanocytes and the small lymphocytes. Particular attention is paid to those cell features that might be associated with phagocytosis, autophagy and transport mechanisms.Keywords
