Lymphatic sinus-like structures were demonstrated in the choroid of the monkey eye by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. These lymphatic sinus-like structures were lined by fibroblast-like cells with large intercellular gaps. When the specimens were viewed by scanning electron microscopy, the surface morphology of the fibroblast-like cells was similar to that of the endothelial cells of blood vessels or lymphatic vessels. Some fibroblast-like cells possessed intracellular fenestrations which varied in size, number and distribution. It is suggested that the lymphatic sinus-like structures here observed might play a role in the drainage of fluid from the choroid.
通过透射电子显微镜和扫描电子显微镜在猴眼脉络膜中发现了淋巴窦样结构。这些淋巴窦样结构由具有大细胞间隙的成纤维细胞样细胞排列而成。当用扫描电子显微镜观察标本时，成纤维细胞样细胞的表面形态与血管或淋巴管的内皮细胞相似。一些成纤维细胞样细胞具有大小、数量和分布各异的细胞内窗孔。提示此处观察到的淋巴窦样结构可能在脉络膜液体引流中起作用。
