Zonular FibersZonular Fibers

The lens is supported by zonular fibers The lens is supported by zonular fibers that originate from basal lamina of the that originate from basal lamina of the nonpigmentednonpigmented epithelium epithelium fibers are 5fibers are 5--30 micron in diameter30 micron in diametereosinophiliceosinophilic PAS positive structuresPAS positive structures
