ABSTRACT

 

Mansoori FS, Roshani H., Histology of fibrous tunic corneo-scleral layer of Pelecanus conspicillatus  (Pelican), Onl J Vet Res., 18(10): 790-795,  2014.  Microstructure of the outer layer of the eyes of 6 healthy mature Pelecanus conspicillatus pelicans is described using standard histological techniques and stains. The cornea had distinct dermal and scleral components. The sclera also had distinct episcleral and a scleral zones. The outer layer of the episclera was composed of connective fibers loosely attached to the sclera proper. The inner layer of the sclera consisted of dense connective tissues with one cartilaginous parts continuing over the oraserrata.
