. The influence on the surface of the corneal endothelial cells of 1) storage temperature of the enucleated eye, 2) epithelial abrasio, and 3) endothelial linear abrasio, has been examined. The surface structure may change rapidly following these procedures. The treatment of the cornea before fixation for electron microscopy should be standardized and as short as possible.
