Figure I-16

A melanocyte and a fibroblasts in the iris stroma. The melanocytes of the stroma have a more abundant cytoplasm than those of the anterior border layer. The two cells shown here are separated from each other by a narrow intercellular space (a). A cilium projects into the iris stroma from the cytoplasm of the melanocyte (b). The melanocyte granules are completely melanized. (X 13,200.)
