This confocal micrograph shows the detailed structure of the retina from a one-month-old mouse. The retina is the photoreceptive organ of the eye. It is composed of layers of neuronal cells that captu...

TEM image of epon section of a freeze-substituted mouse retina illustrating the unusual distribution of heterochromatin in rod receptor nuclei where the compact heterochromatin is centrally located. C...

The photopigment melanopsin confers photosensitivity upon a minority of retinal output neurons. These intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are more diverse than once believed, ...

TEM image of epon section of a freeze-substituted mouse retina illustrating the unusual distribution of heterochromatin in rod receptor nuclei where the compact heterochromatin is centrally located. W...

Lipid droplet contacts with nucleus and kinetoplast in a Leishmania amastigote inside golden hamster spleen cell. The image shows a transversal section of the cell. Below plasma membrane is possible t...

Nuclear pores are clearly seen in these transmission electron micrographs of cells after cryo-fixation, freeze-fracture and surface replication. Upper panel shows the outer surface of of the nuclear e...

Confocal micrograph of the head region of a transgenic zebrafish embryo. The large circular structure is the eye, showing the structure of the retina. Some neurons in the brain are highlighted in gre...

A grazing section through the edge of the nuclear envelope. This illustrates nuclear envelope pores in face view. Polysomes, chains of ribosomes, are bound to the outer membrane of the nuclear envelop...

Ultrastructural Characterization of the Mouse Optic nerve Head and Retina

Scanning electron microscope image of Nicotiana alata stem cross section. Image shows outer epidermal layer, followed by the cortex and then large vascular bundles. The vascular bundles contain the ph...
