RESUMO
A patient with a retained intra-ocular foreign body had a lens extraction for lenticular chalcosis. The lens capsule, examined under an electron microscope, showed copper particles deposited in the basement membrane. The lens capsule and foreign body were examined with an electron microprobe beam. This method proved to be an efficient method of qualitative and quantitative analysis of the contents of the foreign body.
