title: [Electron-microscopic examinations in cases of keratitis dendritica (author's transl)].
abstract: Scanning electron-microscopic and transmission electron-microscopic examination of cornea affected with herpes simplex (DNS) and which developed the clinical picture of keratitis dendritica, showed typical test results, which are described in detail. The ultramicroscopic findings show that the metabolism of the epithelial cells is of considerable degree. It was proved that there were virus particles in the protoplasm of the epithelial cells. A comparison with a case of zoster keratitis showed the same morphological changes.
