FIG. 3. Above : Scheme showing the possible arrangement of collagen fibers in one
lamella of the mammalian cornea. In insert A the arrangement of fibers in the anteroposterior direction is represented. In insert B the arrangement of fibrils within the
fibers is depicted. (From Polack, 1961.)
Below : Arrangement of collagen fibers in the corneal stroma of the chick embryo.
The patterns seen in serial 5 μ sections made in the plane of the cornea are represented at
the right. As the lamellae thicken with age only one rank of fibers would be seen in each
section. The black notch at the circumference of each circle represents the position of
the choroid fissure. (From Coulombre and Coulombre, 1961.)
