[Development of cell polymorphism in human corneal endothelium]

The development of cell polymorphy in human corneal endothelium was investigated by vital staining. Endothelial cell coalescence, cell loss and amitotic nucleus division are possible causes of endothelial cell polymorphy. These possible causes are differentiated by various temporary stages, the number of nuclei in polymorphous cells, their relation to the number of adjacent cells and their different sizes.
