Endothelial Morphometry by Image Analysis of Corneas Organ Cultured at 31 ° C

METHODS. The endothelia of 505 of the 559 corneas consecutively stored at the eye bank were routinely analyzed with Sambacornea image-analysis software (ver. 1.2.10; Tribvn, Châtillon, France) on three large-field images of 75
