Relocation of posterior corneal rings in clinical wide field specular microscopy. 1985

D P Reinehr, and I F Robertson, and R M Stasiuk

A clinical study of posterior corneal rings in human eyes was undertaken using the Pocklington (Keeler-Konan) contact wide field specular microscope designed by Sherrard. The method used to reproduce identical posterior corneal rings in the same human cornea, in vivo, using the contact wide field specular microscope camera, without the aid of a contact lens, is described. The technique enables the clinician to relocate and evaluate a selected area of human endothelial cells in the same eye.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008853	Microscopy	The use of instrumentation and techniques for visualizing material and details that cannot be seen by the unaided eye. It is usually done by enlarging images, transmitted by light or electron beams, with optical or magnetic lenses that magnify the entire image field. With scanning microscopy, images are generated by collecting output from the specimen in a point-by-point fashion, on a magnified scale, as it is scanned by a narrow beam of light or electrons, a laser, a conductive probe, or a topographical probe.

D003315	Cornea	The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.
