[The "typical senile cataract" examined under the scanning electron microscope (author's transl)]. / Der "typische graue Altersstar" im Rasterelektronen mikroskop (REM).

Lenses suffering from "typical senile cataract" prepared by "critical point drying"and by sprinkling with gold, were examined under the scanning electron microscope. The images thus obtained gave a three-dimensional representation of structural changes within the lens determined in histological investigations performed with the light microscope.
