Figure 2

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs of decellularized corneas obtained at different magnification.

Low-magnified TEM images of the stroma in native cornea (a) and corneas treated with SDS (b), Triton X-100 (c) and HHP (d) showing orientations of collagen fibrils. Higher magnification focusing on the cell or cellular debris in the native cornea (e) and corneas treated with SDS (f), Triton X-100 (g) and HHP (h), indicating no cellular debris in the decellularized cornea prepared by HHP, which is correspond to the histological analysis. Scale bars: 1 μm in (a–d); 500 nm in (e–h).
