Fig. 6. Drawing of a transection through a 28-day-old embryo showing invaginating lens placode that is pushing into the optic vesicle (arrows), thus creating the optic cup. Note the orientation of the eyes 180 degrees from each other. This is also illustrated in Figures 9B and C. (Cook CS, Sulik KK, Wright KW: Embryology.
