From: The PALM Technique: histological findings of masked phototherapeutic keratectomy on rabbit corneas
Experimental cornea 1 week after the procedure. In the anterior stroma under the epithelium, appearance of chaotically distributed collagen fibers is observed (between the arrows), as well as of amorphous inclusions strictly under the basal parts of epithelial cells (arrowheads), and of small "empty" spaces in the extracellular matrix (asterisk). Original magnification × 3300.
