Fig. 31. A. Scanning electron micrograph of the insertion of the zonules into the lens capsule. The area denoted by the arrow in A is shown in a higher magnification in B. The scale bar equals 5 μm, illustrating the fibrillar nature of the capsule (C) and the zonules (Z). Note the high degree of orientation of the capsular fibrils.
