HISTO HOME SSB Index Nervous Tissue Muscle Tissue Skeletal Tissue RESOURCE CENTER Eye:  cornea, 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.
