Adult lens at 7 mm equatorial diameter. B. Adult lens at 6 mm equatorial diameter. C. Aged lens at 7 mm equatorial diameter. D. Aged lens at 6 mm equatorial diameter. Cross sectioned fibers from aged rabbit lenses were noticeably and significantly smaller than those from adult rabbit lenses

Low and medium magnification of adult rabbit lens nuclei. C-D. Low and medium magnification of aged rabbit lens nuclei. It is clear that the EN of aged lenses appeared more disorganized than the EN of adult lenses (compare panels B and D)
