Fig. 14. Electron micrograph of an oblique sagittal section through the inner wall of Schlemm's canal. The connecting fibrils (CF) derive from the sheaths of elastic-like fibers and are attached to the cell membranes of the inner wall endothelium (E, arrows). Asterisks indicate plaque material. A, subendothelial fine fibrillar material; Sc, Schlemm's canal;SE, subendothelial cells.
