Fig. 28. Meridional zonular fibers. A. Ribbing of the lens equator by the meridional zonular fibers between the anterior (above) and posterior (below) zonular bundles (SEM, × 195). B. Equatorial zonular bundle at its junction with the meridional zonular fibers (SEM, × 470). C. Coronal section of two 0.5-μm meridional zonular fibers (m) within the superficial capsule (TEM, × 51,000). (A B from Streeten BW: The zonular insertion: A scanning electron microsopic study.
