Description
Transmission electron micrograph showing a
capillary in the corneal stroma. Two red blood
cells are visible in the lumen of the capillary
and seven endothelial cells make up the blood
vessel wall. The intercellular junctions between
these endothelial cells are clearly visible as
dark lines. A basement membrane surrounds the
vessel. The larger RBC is approxmately 4 microns
in diameter.
