Common and distinct pathways for cellular activities in FGF-2 signaling induced by IL-1beta in corneal endothelial cells.

abstract：:We describe an instrument called a scanning ocular spectrofluorophotometer (SOSF) that measures fluorescence in a two-dimensional cross-section through the anterior chamber and cornea and provides the ability to change excitation and emission wavelengths rapidly.
