Model Eye

Description

Model of the human eye. Includes the lens, iris, cornea, vitreous humor, retina, and detail of the sclera and musculature of the eye. Splits in half horizontally, and the lens, iris, cornea, and vitreous humor may be removed. The lens is even optically clear and polished, so it can be used in optics experiments.

Purpose

Illustrate how the optical system in a human eye works. Name the components of the eye.

Apparatus

  • Model eye

Setup

Notes

This model is quite old and very worse for wear. Be careful handling it, as much of the model is made out of plaster. It's broken before, and is held together with glue.
