The ultrastructure of the ant-egg cataractous lens has been studied. Comparison of tissue demineralized by means of EDTA with untreated tissue showed the calcium salts in the ant-eggs to be mostly crystalline. A laminar appearance of the ant-egg seen in EDTA treated material suggested an intermittent growth of the structure. In the ant-eggs, as well as in some areas separate from these, membrane limited cytoplasmic bodies could be seen in many cases, the membranes of which were partly joint and partly separated by an electron dense material. It is suggested that the calcifications seen as the ant-eggs are secondary phenomena to an abnormal metabolism, morphologically seen as membrane limited cytoplasmic bodies.
已对蚁卵白内障晶状体的超微结构进行了研究。将经乙二胺四乙酸（EDTA）脱矿质处理的组织与未处理的组织进行比较，结果表明蚁卵中的钙盐大多为晶体状。在经EDTA处理的材料中观察到蚁卵呈现出层状外观，这表明该结构具有间歇性生长。在蚁卵以及与蚁卵分离的一些区域中，在许多情况下可以看到膜包裹的细胞质体，其膜部分相连，部分被电子致密物质分隔。有人提出，在蚁卵中看到的钙化是异常代谢的继发现象，从形态学上看为膜包裹的细胞质体。
