An analytical electron microscopic study of a corneal tattoo

K Olander et al. Ann Ophthalmol. 1983 Nov.

Abstract

A case of corneal tattoo was studied histologically, and by electron microscopy. Most of the electron dense granules were seen in keratocytes, either singly or in clumps; some were found between collagen fibrils. Platinum was localized in the granules by means of x-ray microanalysis.
