The Effect of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Keratoplasty on Rabbit Anterior Segment

Figure 8

Apoptosis in the cornea at different time points observed by fluorescence microscopy. (A) On day 1, there was a large number of corneal apoptotic cells in the focal zone (indicated by an arrow), 400x; ((B), (C)) on days 7 and 15, the number of apoptotic cells decreased only in the presence of the epithelium and endothelium (indicated by an arrow), 400x; (D) on day 30, there were a few corneal apoptotic cells in the epithelium (indicated by an arrow) 400x; ((E), (F)) on days 60 and 90, there was no apoptosis in the cornea, 400x. Scale bar = 50 μm.
