A Novel Terminal Web‐Like Structure in Cortical Lens Fibers: Architecture and Functional Assessment

Confocal image of posterior segments of cortical lens fibers which abut to form the typical inverted‐Y suture pattern. The sutural domains are flanked on either side by a prominent ‘terminal web’ containing actin, myosin and fodrin.
