    18.23   Lens Version française
Section of the lens of a mouse stained with TPA and PAS.

This field presents the anterior surface of the lens. It shows the PAS positive capsule (C) equivalent to a thick basement membrane.

Underlying the capsule, the anterior epithelium (E) of the lens is unstained and barely visible.

The lens fibres (*) are cut transversely and their regular hexagonal profiles, well outlined in green by TPA, emphasize the regularity of their structure and packing.

Stain: PAS-TPA
Magnification: ×500
