Richard McIntosh (editors), Landmark Papers in Cell Biology, page 261, Each tight junction is followed by an adhering zonule extending between arrows 2 and 3 and, farther away, by a desmosome marked D. A condensation of finely fibrillar material occurs mainly along the adhering zonules on each side of the bile capillary.

Duker (editors), Ophthalmology, 3rd Edition, page 429, In most cases, the goal of this type of lens surgery is the same as that for eyes without a compromised zonule: to remove the contents of the capsular bag through a CCC and replace the contents with a foldable IOL.
