Figure 5. Paraffin-embedded histopathology of AND-34−/− mouse eyes. Paraffin tissue sections of four-month-old AND-34−/− eyes are compared with a four-month-old AND-34+/+ eye. Panel B shows a fragment of anterior chamber lens cortex (short arrow) in front of the iris (long arrow). Panel C shows a fragment of lens cortex (short arrow) behind the iris (long arrow). Panel D shows that the fragment of lens cortex lacks both epithelial cells and a lens capsule. The lens capsule is visible in the lens itself on the left side of this panel. In panels A and B, the loss of lens fiber material from the lens is due to artifactual shearing during the cutting of the paraffin section.
