Eyecornea, iris, lens, and ciliary body

   
 
 
 
Historical note:  Accurate images
of eye anatomy were drawn by
William Bowman as early as 1847.
 

For an enlarged view of any of the structures shown here, click on a chosen region within the image, OR click on one of thumbnails below. 

NOTE:
    Suspensory fibers for the lens are visible only in the enlarged views. 
    The ragged hole that appears here within the lens is an artifact, the result of difficulty fixing and sectioning this relatively solid tissue.
