title: Morphometric study of the lens in staged human embryos.
abstract: In 32 embryos of developmental stages 13 to 23 the measurements of the eye and lens were made. It was shown that the speed of growth of the eye and lens is at a maximum between 19 and 23 stages. Beginning from stage 19 the lens acquires ellipsoidal shape.
