In utero/post-natal delivery of tritiated thymidine (3H-Tdr) labels all proliferating lens epithelial cells. A paraffin section of the eye of a 3-day-old mouse that had received 3H-Tdr twice daily in utero from day 17 gestation until birth, and then injected subcutaneously with 3H-Tdr twice daily for three days; note the uniform labeling of all lens epithelial cells (arrows). Area with in the rectangle shows the uniformly heavily labeled, cuboidal-shaped lens epithelial cells at a high magnification.
