The total thickness of ACE was equal to 48.5±1.1 μm. The geometry of epithelial cells was investigated. The basal cells had columnar shape; their average height was equal to 21.4±1.8 μm, average width — to 5.94±0,45 μm, configuration index was 3.84±0,50. The intermediate cells were predominantly ellipsoidal in shape; their average height was equal to 6.2±0.3 μm, average width — to 12.0±0.8 μm, configuration index was 0.54±0,06. The superficial cells were squamous, their average height was equal to 3.8±0.3 μm, average width — to 22.4±1.7 μm, configuration index was 0.18±0.02. Index of flattening of epithelial cells of the superficial layer was 5.8±0.5. Negative correlation (r±m=–0,72±0,13) was detected between the height and the width of the epithelial cells.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Цель работы — гистологическое исследование переднего эпителия роговицы (ПЭР) взрослого самца африканского страуса Struthio camelus Linnaeus, 1758 (Struthioniformes). Общая толщина ПЭР равна 48,5±1,1 мкм. Исследована геометрия эпителиоцитов. Базальные клетки (высота — 21,4±1,8 мкм, ширина — 5,9±0,4 мкм, индекс конфигурации — 3,8±0,5) имеют столбчатую форму. Промежуточные клетки (высота — 6,2±0,3 мкм, ширина — 12,0±0,8 мкм, индекс конфигурации — 0,54±0,06) — преимущественно эллипсоидной формы. Поверхностные клетки (высота — 3,8±0,3 мкм, ширина — 22,4±1,7 мкм, индекс конфигурации — 0,180±0,020) имеют плоскую форму. Индекс уплощения эпителиоцитов поверхностного слоя составляет 5,8±0,5. Выявлена отрицательная корреляционная зависимость (r±m=–0,72±0,13) между высотой и шириной эпителиоцитов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>eyeball</kwd><kwd>anterior corneal epithelium</kwd><kwd>morphometry</kwd><kwd>ostrich</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>глаз</kwd><kwd>передний эпителий роговицы</kwd><kwd>морфометрия</kwd><kwd>страус</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Киладзе А.
