From: The PALM Technique: histological findings of masked phototherapeutic keratectomy on rabbit corneas
Experimental cornea 3 months after the procedure. Light microscopy of the ablation zone. The border of the ablation zone is indicated by a big arrowhead. The epithelium (E) in the ablated zone (to the left of the arrowhead) has local thickness irregularities. However, the cells have mostly normal appearance. No signs of inflammatory reaction. The "foamy" layer in the stroma (S) is practically indistinguishable in light microphotographs. Original magnification × 130.
