Caption

Electron microscopy. Ultrastructure of a transected lens from a 23 day old Crygs^Opj/Crygs^Opj mouse, showing swollen and disarrayed lens fibers (f) in both the outer cortex (OC) of low electron opacity and the inner cortex (IC) of higher electron opacity. Note in both layers of the cortex, the irregularly shaped inclusion bodies composed of fiber-like material of either thin (t) or coarse (c) nature. Magnification, x15,000; calibration bar, 1.0um
