Histological measurement of human retinal thickness.
The fresh eye balls from the accidental death adults were placed on low temperature slicer to cut into slices. The fresh sections was subjected to the direct measurement of retinal thickness by using CMIAS multi-function real color pathologic imaging analysis system. The results showed that in the total of 6 eye balls measured, the mean retinal thickness was 310.92 +/- 34.14 microns. It was concluded that it was simple and had high confidence for the fresh eye ball low temperature frozen sections to directly measure the retinal thickness, which provided a histological method for the measurement of retinal thickness and the reference of retinal thickness of Chinese adults.
