Figure 6

Electron micrographs of XFS fibrils from the surface of lens capsule XFS-L. (a) Electron micrographs of negatively stained (using 2% PTA), isolated XFS deposits from a lens capsule of a 61-year-old male patient (sample L) being in low stages of XFS at the time of surgery (scale bars = 50 nm). (b) First panel: a representative 2D class average of the fibril segments. White arrows indicate the density of the fibril in the 2D class average image (scale bar = 10 nm). Second panel: a schematic illustration of the 2D class average image.
