Figure 1. Frequency of Crypts
Photos 1-5 created a 5-point scale, which were used to measure the frequency of Fuchs' crypts. Photo 1 in the scale contains no Fuchs' crypts. The fibers lay parallel to each other and form a dense uniform tissue texture. Photo 2 was dense but compared to photo 1 was slightly more open in tissue texture. In photo 3, a minimum of 4 Fuchs' crypts in the main stroma leaf are clearly visible. In photo 4, the tissue texture was more permeable and the Fuchs' crypts are larger. In photo 5, Fuchs' crypts of different sizes cover nearly the entire iris spot.
