Abstract:
The endothelium of 20 cases of rabbit cornea including the normal and postoperated ones (2 weeks and I, 2, 3 months after penetrating keratoplasty) were observed by scanning electron microscope. The photographs of the endothelium in graft-host junction were analysed by computer-assisted image analysis system and the morphometric indexes are as follows: area of the cells, perimeters, density, figure coefficient, long axis, coefficient of variation of the area, and others. After operation the morphology and the density of the endothelial cells were different from the normal ones obviously, but the cells changed from enlargement and irregularity to normal progressively. At the time when the corneas were operated for 3 months, some differences still existed.
