  2. Capsule of lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_of_lens

    Sheep eye lens capsule with ligaments attached. The capsule is lifting off the lens showing cell fiber ends beneath. Microscope image of lens capsule in relation to lens cell types. The lens capsule is a component of the globe of the eye. [1] It is a clear elastic basement membrane similar in composition to other basement membranes in the body.

  3. Optic vesicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_vesicle

    The eyes begin to develop as a pair of diverticula (pouches) from the lateral aspects of the forebrain.These diverticula make their appearance before the closure of the anterior end of the neural tube; [1] [2] after the closure of the tube around the 4th week of development, they are known as the optic vesicles.

  4. Lens (vertebrate anatomy) - Wikipedia

    Note the largest lens has damaged capsule and iris attached Microscope image of lens cell types and capsule. The lens has three main parts: the lens capsule, the lens epithelium, and the lens fibers. The lens capsule is a relatively thick basement membrane forming the outermost layer of the lens. Inside the capsule, much thinner lens fibers ...

    a 26 gauge needle bent twice used for incising the anterior capsule of the lens in lens extraction Wire vectis: a loop of wire attached to a stack used to extract cataract affected lenses Irrigating vectis: a small hollow instrument with a used to introduce fluid into the anterior chamber to raise its pressure to aid cataract extraction [2] Canula

  6. Optic cup (embryology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_cup_(embryology)

    During embryonic development of the eye, the outer wall of the bulb of the optic vesicles becomes thickened and invaginated, and the bulb is thus converted into a cup, the optic cup (or ophthalmic cup), consisting of two strata of cells.

  7. List of telescope parts and construction - Wikipedia

    Objective: The first lens or curved mirror that collects and focuses the incoming light. Primary lens: The objective of a refracting telescope. Primary mirror: The objective of a reflecting telescope. Corrector plate: A full aperture negative lens placed before a primary mirror designed to correct the optical aberrations of the mirror.

  8. Capsulotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsulotomy

    It gives the surgeon access to the lens inside so that it can be removed. The remaining part of the capsule is left in place and provides a barrier between the anterior and posterior chambers that prevents leakage of the vitreous into the anterior chamber, and provides a natural support for an implanted intraocular lens in the optimum position. [2]

  9. Aqueous humour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_humour

    It is secreted from the ciliary body, a structure supporting the lens of the eyeball. [1] It fills both the anterior and the posterior chambers of the eye, and is not to be confused with the vitreous humour , which is located in the space between the lens and the retina, also known as the posterior cavity or vitreous chamber.
