Scanning electron microscopic observations of a mucopolysaccharide coating on human corneal endothelium.
Scanning electron microscopic observations of human corneal endothelium revealed a binding of ruthenium red-osmium tetroxide to a material on the inner surface of the endothelial cells on the cornea and the trabecular meshwork. The coating material was partially digested by proteolytic enzymes.
