title: Scanning electron microscopy in ophthalmology.
abstract: In the context the technique of the scanning electron microscopy is described and the results are shown gained by the scanning electron microscope in ophthalmology. It is pointed out that questions specific to surface can be answered quicker and easier, if superificial microscopy together with the scanning electron microscope is used an additional source of information. Scanning electron optical pictures are very useful for ophthalmologic science.
