Dark-field microscopy enhance visibility of CD31 endothelial staining
A simple dark field microscopy technique was used for visualization of blood vessels in normal human renal tissues and carcinoma. Phase contrast condenser ring apt for high power objectives was combined with a 10x objective in order to create a dark ...

Multimodal Imaging of the Corneal Endothelial Transition Zone Reveals Progenitor Cell Population [PDF]
The assessment of donor corneas is currently based solely on central endothelial cell (EC) density, which potentially overlooks the transition zone (TZ) regenerative potential.

Morphological Changes in Endothelial Cell Organelles in a No-Touch Saphenous Vein Graft [PDF]
Introduction: Improved long-term patency of the no-touch (NT) saphenous vein graft has been reported to result from the preservation of a healthy vascular microstructure, especially endothelial cells.

Visualization of Endothelial Actin Cytoskeleton in the Mouse Retina [PDF]
Angiogenesis requires coordinated changes in cell shape of endothelial cells (ECs), orchestrated by the actin cytoskeleton. The mechanisms that regulate this rearrangement in vivo are poorly understood - largely because of the difficulty to visualize ...

Specular microscopy in clinical practice
Specular microscopy is a noninvasive diagnostic tool that allows for in vivo evaluation of corneal endothelium in health and various diseased states. Endothelial imaging helps in the diagnosis and management of several endothelial disorders.

Junctional Adhesion Molecule-C Mediates the Recruitment of Embryonic-Endothelial Progenitor Cells to the Perivascular Niche during Tumor Angiogenesis [PDF]
The homing of Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) to tumor angiogenic sites has been described as a multistep process, involving adhesion, migration, incorporation and sprouting, for which the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms are yet to be ...

Confocal microscopy in the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome [PDF]
To report the appearances of iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome from real time, white light confocal microscopy.Three consecutive patients, each with ICE syndrome, were examined prospectively. Corneal specular and confocal microscopic examinations were performed in all three patients.

Specular microscopy of the corneal endothelial cells of bovines: An ex vivo study
Background: The endothelium is the most posterior layer of the cornea and essential for maintaining corneal transparency. Due to variations in corneal endothelial parameters among different species, knowledge of the normal parameters for each species is
