Effect of Certain Drugs on the Iris Vessels

The Vascular System of the Albino Rat Iris, and Its Suitability for Vital Microscopy and Experimental Studies on Microcirculation

“…2) can be studied more conveniently in many respects than can that of the mesenterium or other membranous organs of cold-or warmblooded ani mals, which have been favorite subjects since the beginnings of vital micro scopy. Although the iris vessels of small rodents (mice, rats, and guinea pigs) have already served as subjects for numerous ophthalmoscopic [2], histologic [11,13], functional, and pharmacologic [10,12] studies, their great significance for biomicroscopy was first recognized by Bensley in 1960 [1]. He developed a special transillumination technique for the eyes of small albino rodents, in which the bulbus is illuminated by a quartz rod inserted into the lower con junctival sac.…”
