Description
Gecko eye lens. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a freeze fractured lens (crystalline lens) from a gecko's eye. The cells are in a stacked linear, fibre-like arrangement. A cell nucleus is seen at centre (blue). Its presence shows that these are immature lens cells, as mature cells have no nuclei or cell organelles. Magnification x2200 when printed at 10 centimetres wide.
