Abstract
Goblet cell impressions free from epithelial cells could be collected more consistently from the rabbit conjunctiva by creating a space betw een the applied cellulose acetate filter and the tissue surface. Succe ssive impressions taken over the same region of the conjunctiva could not be matched. When tight control of the area being sampled was estab lished, the impressions left by cells on successive filters varied wid ely in intensity.
