(A) Histological section from the same eye in the low power magnification. Note the haemorrhage and the artificial cavity after another haemorrhage within the tumour. Anterior synechiae closing the chamber angle in the region around the tumorous focus are also visible. Haematoxylin and eosin staining, magnification ×12.5. (B) The same specimen as in (A), tumorous infiltrate under high power magnification. Note the tendency to form blood vessel spaces and cellular atypias. Haematoxylin and eosin staining, magnification ×500.
