Description

Transmission electron micrograph showing a transverse section through a nerve fiber in the corneal stroma. The cell contains a nucleus, mitochondria and some rough endoplasmic reticulum. The nerve is passing through the layers of stromal lamellae, and layers of collagen fibrils lying across each other at different angles appear as dots or lines depending on the plane of section. The field is approximately 11 microns across.
