Fig. 23. Zonular bundles insertingon the anterior lens capsule. A. Theinserting ends taper to thin points (SEM, × 700). B. Terminating zonu-lar fibrils (Z) end by a blendingof their fibrils into the superficialcapsule in a basket-weave fashion (SEM, × 21,000). Inset shows pebbly surface of bare lens capsule, cen-tral to the zonular insertion (SEM, × 16,000). (Streeten BW: The zonular insertion: A scanning electron microscopic study.
