18.22 Lens

Version française

This field shows the anterior surface of the lens at its equator.

The lens fibres (*) terminate under the internal epithelium of the lens (E) underlying the lens capsule (C). These closely and regularly packed lens fibres are seen here cut longitudinally and running obliquely.

Numerous bundles of zonular fibres (Z), heavily stained black with iron hematoxylin, are deeply and obliquely inserted in the lens capsule (C).

Stain: Iron hematoxylin-E
Magnification: ×1000
