Micrographs of the cross-section of anterior lens capsules excised from XFS patients. (a) Light microscope image of sectioned lens capsule showing bush-like excrescence of XFS material on the surface of lens capsule (arrows). (b) TEM micrograph of XFS fibrils being formed through lateral binding of protofilament subunits. (c,d) XFS fibrils on the anterior lens capsule, with cross-banding pattern (arrows). (e) Interface contact between lens capsule and XFS fibril. (f,g) Differences in interfacial contacts with XFS materials as well as XFS macrostructure. (h) Lens epithelial cells on the posterior side of lens capsule (LC lens capsule, LE lens epithelium).
