title: [Surface morphology relations between corneal endothelial cells of various sizes].
abstract: Investigations of polymorphous corneal endothelium layers with the semi-automatic image analysis system "Videoplan" show that the perimeters of the large cells are more nearly circular than those of the neighboring small cells. The consequences of these observations are discussed with regard to the functional reserves of cells of different sizes and to the decompensation of the corneal endothelium after severe damage.
