Specular microscopy and pachometry were performed on seven clinically normal anesthetized young adult dogs. Endothelial cells of the central cornea formed a mosaic-like pattern of hexagonal cells 15 to 20 micrometers in diameter; the average number of cells per millimeters squared was 2,816 +/- 187 SD. Average corneal thickness of 0.62 +/- 0.047 SD mm.
