RESUMO
The paper describes the results of evaluation of potentialities of the application of scanning acoustic microscopy, which is still relatively new and as yet uncommon method of biological research, for the supravital study of animal eye structure in species with different eyeball size. Using the eyes of a goat, quail embryo (in situ) and frog tadpole (in vivo) as the examples, it was shown that non-destructive nature of the method used allows for the study of peculiarities of major morphologic structures in the state that is close to the natural one. Some acoustic images are presented showing eye structural elements along with the results of quantitative characteristic of the cornea, sclera and iris.
