Abstract
The internal wall of each lacrimal canaliculus was lined by a thick non-cornified stratified epithelium resting on a basement membrane. Subepithelial collagen fibrils and elastic fibres as well as muscle fibres of the lacrimal portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle were visible around the canaliculi (Fig. 2a).
