It is composed of the most recently differentiated lens fibre cells, added from the lens epithelium at the equator; it contains the remodelling and transition zones in which fibre cells lose their nuclei. Equivalent to the 'superficial cortex of lens' (cortex superficialis) in FMA. The outer cortex is the site of ongoing lens fibre cell maturation, including the remodelling zone (RZ) and transition zone (TZ) described by Lim et al. 2009 (PMID:19357350).
