Fig. 2. Histology of eye of vimentin wildtype and VimR113C transgenic mice. (A,B) Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained, paraffin-embedded lens sections of 45-week-old (A) VimR₁₁₃C transgenic and (B) wt mice. (A',B') Higher magnifications of the insets is shown in A and B. Note that VimR₁₁₃C lenses are much more fragile than wt lenses; they display a less regular organisation of fibre cells. Scale bars: 70 µm, (A,B), 60 µm (A',B').
