Fig. 10From: Progress in tear microdesiccate analysis by combining various transmitted-light microscope techniquesRepresentative image of a normal tear microdesiccate as observed by transmitted-light microscopy with Ph1/Ph2+ illumination. Both tear microdesiccate production and the lens system of the microscope were those described in the legend to Fig. 3. Also, both a roughly cylindrical and well-defined continuous zone I, a complex transition band and the structured body of the tear desiccate displaying major and minor crystalloids could be jointly appreciated. Filaments in zone 1 look like well-defined carvingsBack to article page
