Fig. 1. Microphotograph of trout retina section (PE+PRL, pigment epithelium and
photoreceptor layer; OLM, outer limiting membrane; ONL, outer nuclear layer;
OPL, outer plexiform layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; IPL, inner plexiform
layer; GCL, ganglion cell layer; NFL, nerve fibre layer; ILM, inner limiting
membrane). The trout retina is completely devoid of blood vessels. Numbers
denote thickness ± S.D.(N=3) in µm of
the respective layers. For GCL and NFL the combined thickness of the two
layers is given. Insert: Microphotographs of eel retina as an example of a
teleost retina with intraretinal vascularization. Large blood vessels visible
on ILM reach into the retina to OLM. Bars, 100 µm, 50 µm (insert).
