FF-OCT cross-sectional images of normal rat cornea. (a) Cross-sectional image of in vivo rat cornea. (b) Intensity profile along the axial direction in (a). (c) Rescaled cross-sectional image of in vivo rat corneal epithelial layer. (d) Rescaled cross-sectional image of ex vivo rat cornea. The red arrows mark non-keratinized squamous epithelial cells. The green arrows mark the cuboid wing epithelial cells. The yellow arrows mark columnar-shaped basal epithelial cells. EP: epithelium; BM: Bowman’s membrane; ST: stroma; DM: Descemet’s membrane; ED: endothelium. (Scale bar = 10 μm).
