Scanning Electron Microscopic Studies of the Pecten Oculi in the Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Figure 1
(a) Scanning electron micrograph of the pecten’s overview. B: the base of the pecten; b: the bridge of the pecten; arrow: the vitreopectineal membrane; the asterisks denote the pleats. (b) Scanning electron micrograph of three pleats ending at the bridge of the pecten. The asterisk shows the bridge. Thin arrows: pigmented cells. (c) Scanning electron micrograph of the fibrillar tissue of the bridge. (d) Scanning electron micrograph of a pleat arising from the base. Note the presence of hyalocytes (arrows).
