[Floppy eyelid syndrome: light and electron microscopy studies]. 1986

E Arocker-Mettinger, and R Haddad, and K Konrad, and F J Steinkogler

A 60-year-old patient with "Floppy Eyelid" syndrome was treated by wedge-shaped lid resection. The excised tissue was studied by light and electron microscopy. Apart from the signs of chronic inflammation already described no abnormality was found in the ultrastructure or distribution of the collagen and elastic fibers of the tarsus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
