|---|
| angle of Fuchs | <ophthalmology> A crevice between the ciliary and pupillary zones of the iris formed by atrophy of superficial layers of the iris in the pupillary zone. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Dalen-Fuchs nodules | Collections of epithelial cells lying between Bruch's membrane and the retinal pigment epithelium in sympathetic ophthalmia and rarely in other granulomatous intraocular inflammations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs' adenoma | <tumour> A benign epithelial tumour of the non-pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body, rarely exceeding 1 mm in diameter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs' black spot | An area of pigment proliferation in the macular region in degenerative myopia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs' coloboma | A congenital inferior crescent on the choroid at the edge of the optic disk; not associated with myopia. Synonym: congenital conus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fuchs' endothelial dystrophy | Disorder caused by loss of endothelium of the central cornea. It is characterised by hyaline endothelial outgrowths on descemet's membrane, epithelial blisters, reduced vision, and pain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Fuchs' epithelial dystrophy | Epithelial oedema secondary to endothelial dystrophy of the cornea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis | <syndrome> A syndrome characterised by heterochromia of the iris, iridocyclitis, keratic precipitates, and cataract. Synonym: Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs' syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome characterised by heterochromia of the iris, iridocyclitis, keratic precipitates, and cataract. Synonym: Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Abbe, Ernst | <person> German mathematician and physicist, professor at Jena, and inventor of much optical apparatus at the Zeiss works. His inventions include the apochromatic objective, the compensating ocular, the Abbe condenser, a well corrected oil-immersion achromatic condenser, the immersion objective, Abbe apertometre, Abbe refractometre, and the drawing camera, he evolved the Abbe theory of resolution and microscope imagery, the numerical aperture formula, and other optical theories. Lived: 1840-1905. (05 Aug 1998) |
| Abbe, Ernst K | <person> German physicist, 1840-1905. See: Abbe's condenser. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Babes-Ernst bodies | Intracellular granules, present in many species of bacteria, which possess a strong affinity for nuclear stains. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Babes-Ernst granule | <microbiology> Metachromatic intracellular deposits of polyphosphate found in Corynebacterium diphtheriae when the bacteria are grown on sub optimal media. The granules stain reddish with methylene blue or toluidine blue. (02 Jan 1998) |
