    A Korean research team consisting of Prof.


     

    Goblet cells in the conjunctiva are specialized epithelial cells that secrete mucin to form the mucus layer of the tear film


     

    The researchers first imaged normal rabbits and verified that the CGC images from the new imaging device matched well with conventional histological images, with CGCs visible by periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining


     

    The findings were recently published in The Ocular Surface, an authoritative journal in ophthalmology


     

    "With the imaging device developed this time, it is possible to non-invasively examine cgc in the eyes of a live rabbit model similar to humans," explained Kim Ki-hyun, a professor at Pohang University of Technology
