One normal and one ectopic lens have been examined with scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Some areas of the Jens from the abnormal eye were completely devoid of zonular threads while some irregular remnants were present in other areas. The ultrastructure of the capsula propria was essentially identical to the ultrastructure seen in a normal lens. The granular inclusions found in the anterior lens capsule are probably not a part of the zonular apparatus.
