Activated human retinal microglia under pathological conditions.
Six pathological human retinas were studied in order to establish changes, migration, and other reactions of retinal microglia. The different morphological features of other retinal macrophages are also described. Hortega silver carbonate stain was used for this study. This investigation aided in answering some questions on the active movements of microglia elements and other details under discussion.
