The importance of the present reinvestigation of the three-dimensional structure of lens fibers in the rabbit is that it has shown the presence of all types of membrane specializations described before in one single lens of one species, the restricted distribution of some specializations, and the conformational changes within one fiber. Interlocking protrusions are present throughout the whole lens and must be considered as the main anchoring processes in the rabbit. Ball-and-socket junctions are present in restricted regions and can be considered an additional anchoring processes. Undulations of the apical and lateral edges of the hexagonal fibers and folds and bends of the lateral surface have a limited distribution. It is postulated that they may play a role in lens changes during accommodation.
本次对兔晶状体纤维三维结构重新研究的重要性在于，它揭示了在一个物种的单个晶状体中存在之前描述过的所有类型的膜特化结构，某些特化结构的分布受限，以及单个纤维内的构象变化。互锁突起存在于整个晶状体中，在兔眼中必须被视为主要的锚定结构。球窝连接存在于受限区域，可被视为额外的锚定结构。六边形纤维顶端和侧面边缘的波动以及侧面的褶皱和弯曲分布有限。据推测，它们可能在调节过程中晶状体的变化中发挥作用。
