Figure 14. The pseudosegmentation of fibers as a function of elongation

Scale CADs showing the extent of fiber elongation in Y suture lenses up until the onset of suture formation (between the white bands; a middle segment measuring about 60% of the total fiber length) and the remaining amount of fiber elongation effected at fiber ends that form suture branches (outside of the white bands; end segments measuring between 0 and 20% of the total fiber length).
