Equatorial portion of eye lens called the bow region. The lens was cut in the anterior-posterior direction. Top right portion shows epithelium made of cuboidal cells with the basement membrane called the capsule. Towards the center the more cube shaped cells begin to elongate into longer fiber cells that wrap around back onto the epithelium at one end and attach to the capsule at the other end. The small nuclei of each fiber cell generally locate towards each fiber's center forming a bow shape.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
