Stroma of the cornea

Title: Stroma of the cornea
Description:
(A): Stain hematoxylin-eosin, human. At the outside the cornea is covered with 5 to 6 layers of non-keratinizing squamous epithelium (1),
settled on the Bowman’s layer (*). At the interior side the cornea is limited by the Descemet’s membrane (**) on which a thin single layer of continuous endothelium (3) is localized. Note that normal corneal stroma is avascular with a relatively low keratocytes density.
(B): Electron micrograph of the corneal stroma, human.The thick stroma (A, 2) consists of lamellae of parallel arranged collagen fibrils oriented in two cross directions (5 and 6), and fibroblasts (4) (or keratocytes) in between them.
Keywords/Mesh: eye, cornea, collagen fibril, Bowman’s layer, Descemet’s membrane, histology, electron microscopy, POJA collection
