[Contact biomicroscopy in examination of blood vessels of the eye (author's transl)].

The vessels of the conjunctiva and iris were studied in 20 gray and albino rabbits. The luminescent contact microscope (MLC-1) was used, at maximum magnification 174 x for visual observation and 33 x for photography. The particular advantage of contact biomicroscopy is that it makes possible detailed observation not only of the superficial network, but also of the deep network of conjunctival vessels. Both the blood flow and the distribution of formal elements in vessel lumina can be observed.
