If these layers are arranged in a sufficiently orderly fashion, there is relatively little scattering or absorption of light as it passes through the tissue. The so-called "crystalline lens" is also a cellular structure. The cells are long hexagonal columns. Most of the cell nuclei are grouped in a restricted region of the lens which is not active in vision. A typical cross section of a lens is shown schematically in Figure 9. (a
