On the methodology of the thyroid epithelial cell thickness determination
Journal of Microscopy, 1977SUMMARYThe average thickness of the thyroid epithelial cells may be determined either directly or indirectly. By the direct or caliper method, this thickness is overestimated as a result of which its empirical value must be divided by a correction factor Kd.

Utility of regional epithelial thickness measurements in corneal evaluations
Survey of Ophthalmology, 2020The measurement of regional corneal epithelial thickness and characterization of its behavior in response to changes in corneal architecture are increasingly drawing interest in clinical practice. The epithelium has tremendous capacity for remodeling and does so in response to underlying stromal pathology or changes in anterior corneal curvature ...

Correlation of Sex and Myopia With Corneal Epithelial and Stromal Thicknesses
Cornea, 2016To measure the corneal epithelial thickness (CET) and stromal thickness (ST) in normal subjects, and to also evaluate their correlation with gender, age, and myopia severity.A total of 162 normal subjects were enrolled; they were divided into 3 groups based on their refractive status: "low myopia" (-0.25 to -3.0 D), "moderate myopia" (-3.0 to -6.0 D ...
