From: Biochemical and Morphological Analysis of Basement Membrane Component Expression in Corneoscleral and
Cribriform Human Trabecular Meshwork Cells
Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci.. 2006;47(3):794-801. doi:10.1167/iovs.05-0292
Figure Legend:
Electron micrographs of tangential sections through the cribriform TM region. (A) The cribriform cell (CR) was attached
to BM-like material (BM) at places where the cribriform elastic fibers (EL) were connected to the cell by cross-banded
connecting fibrils (CFs; arrows). The cell membrane was undulated and thick-ened at these positions. At that part of the
circumference where the cell faces optically empty spaces (OE), no BM-like material was visible. (B) The
phagolysosome containing cribriform cells (CR) was mainly surrounded by optically empty spaces (OE). BM-like material
was only visible at the small cytoplasmic extensions where the cell is in contact with fibrillar material (arrows).
Magnification:
×5100; (B) ×3600.
