Fig. 5From: A dose-escalation ex vivo study on the effects of intracameral benzalkonium chloride in rabbitsTrypan 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)Back to article page
