A cross section of an adult mouse lens showing the lens capsule (blue) surrounding the cellular lens (yellow). The anterior and posterior lens capsules are the basement membranes for the lens epithelial cells and the lens cortical fiber cells, respectively. In the equatorial region the lens capsule serves as the basement membrane for the epithelial cells differentiating into fiber cells and is also the site of zonule (purple) integration.
