Summary

Rabbit corneas were burned by touching their surfaces with rings of Whatman No. 1 Chromatographic paper soaked in 1N NaOH. The corneal epithelium and endothelium were studied by impregnating flat sections with McGovern's and Jabonero's silver stains. Immediate destruction as well as regeneration of both cellular layers is described.

Zusammenfassung

Ringförmiges chromatographisches Papier Whatman No. 1 wurde mit 1N NaOH imprägniert, Ätzung von Kaninchenhornhäuten durch Kontaktberührung mit dem Papierring. Hornhautepithel und Endothel wurden mit Flachschnittechnik und nachfolgender Silberimprägnation nach McGovern und Jabonero untersucht. Beschreibung der unmittelbaren Ätzschädigung und Regeneration beider Hornhautgrenzschichten.
