Figure 7

Morphological alterations in cortical fiber cell membranes of R49C neo lenses. Lens sections were stained with haematoxylin/eosin. (A) Normal appearance of fiber cells in the lens equatorial region in 3-week-old wild type lenses. (B) Swollen fiber cells and separations between fiber cells in 3-week-old WT/R49Cneo heterozygous lenses. (C) Gaps between fiber cells in 3-week-old R49Cneo/R49Cneo homozygous lenses.
