Giant Five-Part Eyeball

This 6 times life-size eyeball model is constructed of unbreakable vinyl.

On the exterior of the eyeball is the cornea, through which the iris and pupil are visible, the large lacrimal (tear) gland, attachments for all six muscles that move the eyeball, the optic nerve, and surrounding blood vessels.

The eyeball divides in half to study the interior.  The iris/cornea can be removed as can the functional Lucite lens, which magnifies and forms inverted images.

The transparent vitreous body exposs the choroid coat and retina.

Rods, cones, and other retinal microstructures are detailed in a highly magnified diagrammatic cross section.

42 hand-coded features are identified in the accompanying key.

Mounted on a hand rubbed hardwood base, the model measures 6 x 6 x 6 inches (15 x 15 x 15 cm).

Manufactured in the U.S.A. by Denoyer-Geppert.
