Precisions on normal surface of human corneal epithelium: a scanning electron microscopic study.
We are describing the surface of the epithelium of the normal human cornea studied under the scanning electron microscope, and we describe the differences between the light and the dark cells at greater magnifications as well as the junctions between them. There are microplicae and microvilli which reveal differences both with regard to appearance and number, depending upon whether one is studying the light or dark cell.
