Zebrafish Eye and Lens Development

Left panel indicates zebrafish eye. Right drawing indicates diagram of lens development. Lens epithelial cells (orange) form a monolayer covering the spherical lens fiber core, in which lens fiber cells are piled up. The red arrow points to the lens equator, where lens epithelial cells differentiate into lens fiber cells (green).
