Under the latter, hexagonal cells are distributed uniformly except a limited area of the posterior pole, forming a layer of cuboidal epithelium. At the margin of this polar area, lens fibers are thought to be produced by transformation of the flattened epithelial cells, which become elongated and compose nearly all of the peripheral layers of the lens. This differentiation occurrs markedly at the young, then, decreases according to the aging. Each of columnar lens fibers connects its both ends to the linear sutures on respective poles, that is the anterior or the posterior, arranging itself in a meridional row. The latter shows each other an orthogonal slip of phase to an outward appearance. Central part of the lens possesses a colloidal substance at the hatched larva, however the substance becomes to have a hyaloid character and gradually a solid core has been formed accroding to the aging.}, pages = {271--276}, title = {Observations on the Lens Structures of the Teleost Fishes, Gambusia affinis affinis and Scomber japonicus}, volume = {30}, year = {} }
