Transmission electron micrograph (TEM, ×12,000) of human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) in the control (normal glucose) group. The cells show intact cytoskeletal organization with visible actin filaments, normal mitochondria, and characteristic adherens junctions between adjacent epithelial cells. The lens epithelial cells form a monolayer that overlies the anterior lens capsule and are the precursors to lens fibre cells. (human (lens epithelial cells, HLEC cell line); Figure 1, A1.)
