Dark-field micrographs of aged human donor lenses, illustrating (a) small, dot-like opacities and (b) radial and circular shades. (c) Multilamellar body, as frequently found in human lenses with early cortical opacities probably causing the star-like opacities seen in (a). A slice cut in the axial plane of the fixed donor lens (b) is shown in (d). Arrows, radial shades and arrow heads, circular shades. Figure 5a,b reprinted from Michael et al.
