Trypan blue (nuclei of devitalized CECs stained in blue) and alizarin red (staining intercellular borders of CECs in red) vital-stained images of eyes from the study obtained under the light microscope 48 h post-injection. a. 40× image of eye 501–2 (Control group – no injection) showing no trypan blue staining; (b). 40× image of eye 101–2 (BSS group) showing no trypan blue staining. A giant cell can be observed in the picture (arrow); (c). 40× image of eye 805–2 (0.05% BAC) showing trypan blue staining of some CECs and less defined CECs borders; (d). 40× image of eye 203 (0.1% BAC) showing trypan blue staining of the totality of CECs and a CE hole (arrow); (e). 10× image of eye 603–2 (0.025% BAC): CECs can easily be appreciated and trypan blue staining of some CECs is shown; (f). 10× image of eye 203 (0.1% BAC) showing some CE holes (arrows)
