The relationship between choroidal melanocytes and elastic fibers as well as collagen fibers was studied by electron microscopy. In pigmented rabbits (Dutch rabbits), the choroidal melanocytes were distributed mainly at the suprachoroidea and formed layers alternating with fibroblasts. The elastic fibers and oxytaran fibers were in close proximity to the melanocytes and their cytoplasmic processes aligned along the long axis of the elastic fibers. Furthermore, the bundles of the collagen fibers were engulfed by the melanocytes. The present findings suggest that the choroidal melanocytes have a close relationship with the elastic fibers, as has been reported with dermal melanocytes and elastic fibers.
通过电子显微镜研究脉络膜黑素细胞与弹性纤维以及胶原纤维之间的关系。在有色兔（荷兰兔）中，脉络膜黑素细胞主要分布在脉络膜上组织，并与成纤维细胞形成交替层。弹性纤维和耐酸纤维紧邻黑素细胞，其细胞质突起沿弹性纤维的长轴排列。此外，胶原纤维束被黑素细胞吞噬。目前的研究结果表明，脉络膜黑素细胞与弹性纤维关系密切，这与真皮黑素细胞和弹性纤维的报道一致。
