| The
normal human crystalline lens occupies the space in the posterior chamber
behind the iris and pupil (#15083, #21996, #15067). The lens (#21905) is attached to the ciliary body by multiple
bundles of zonules (#21908, #22155).
The lens itself is surrounded by a thick lens capsule which is the
basement membrane of the lens epithelial cells. Anteriorly, the lens capsule is thicker, and there is a
monolayer of epithelial cells seen to underlie it(#21997). The lens epithelial cells migrate to the area of the equator
and fan out forming lens cortical fibers.
Normally there are no lens epithelial cells seen underlying the
thinner posterior capsule (#21997). The
lens nucleus and cortex are often difficult to distinguish on
histopathologic examination.
Slide
(#22139, #22145) also show normal
lens.
