Figure 1a: Scanning electron micrograph. This sagittal section traverses the trabecular meshwork (TM), the juxtacanalicular region (JCT), Schlemm’s canal (SC) and one of the external collector channels (asterisks) that leads from Schlemm’s canal to the episcleral venous system. (From Freddo T. Chapter 3. Ocular anatomy and physiology related to aqueous production and outflow. In: Primary Care of the Glaucomas. Lewis T, Fingeret M, eds, Appleton and Lange, 1993.

Figure 1b: Scanning electron micrograph shows the uveal face of the trabecular meshwork. The intersecting trabecular beams are covered by a uniform, thin layer of endothelial cells, surrounding an avascular core of collagen and elastin. The larger open spaces seen at the surface get progressively smaller in deeper layers. (From TF Freddo, MM Patterson, DR Scott, and DL Epstein.
