Purpose.We aimed to investigate the possible association of proteoglycans with D-periodic collagen fibrils in the human cornea and sclera, using energy-filtering transmission electron microscopy (EF-TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).Methods.Human cornea and sclera were digested with keratanase
