Fig. 31. The meridional zonular fiber system in flat capsular preparations, staining for fibrillin-1. A. Artifactual pulling aside of inserting zonules reveals the vertical posterior meridional insertion site (arrows) (original magnification × 14). B. Dense fibrillin staining seen in a “waffle” pattern of vertical lines consisting of 10-μm zonular fibers to which small bundles attach, as seen on lower right (original magnification × 66). C. In areas where the inserting zonules have been pulled away, their base consists of profuse small zonular microfibrils (original magnification × 330).
