  • Scanning electron microscopy of the posterior aspect of the human posterior vitreous cortex

    May 31 2022 by Joshua Friedman

    Scanning electron microscopy demonstrates the dense packing of collagen fibrils in the posterior vitreous cortex. To some extent this arrangement is exaggerated by the dehydration that occurs during specimen preparation for scanning electron microscopy (bar = 10 µm).
