Light (A and B) and electron microscopy (C and D) of posterior hyaloid vessels in a C3 transgenic (ODO4-21) embryo (E15.5) with severe ocular hemorrhage. A and B, bar is 8.4 μm. In eyes with severe hemorrhage, the whole vitreous cavity is filled with erythrocytes. Between the erythrocytes, many macrophages are observed that contain phagocytosed erythrocytes (arrows). C and D, The endothelial cells of the vessels are separated from each other and form large openings towards both lens capsule and the vitreous cavity (arrows) (bar is 1.4 μm). Le = Lens; Ca = Capsule; Er = Erythrocytes; Ma = Macrophage. Asterisk indicates phagocytosed erythrocytes.
