The cornea is composed of five distinct layers: anterior epithelium (stratified squamous non-keratinized), anterior limiting lamina (Bowman's layer), substantia propria (corneal stroma), posterior limiting lamina (Descemet's membrane), and posterior epithelium (also known as corneal endothelium). The posterior epithelium consists of a single monolayer of flat hexagonal cells classified as simple squamous epithelium.

Option analysis:

• Simple Columnar epithelium: Incorrect. Absent in the eye tunic.
• Stratified columnar epithelium: Incorrect. Found in conjunctival fornix.
• Simple Cuboidal epithelium: Incorrect. Forms the anterior lens epithelium.
• Simple squamous epithelium: Correct. The corneal endothelium (posterior epithelium) is a simple squamous monolayer.
