Confocal micrograph of a mouse retina showing retinal astrocytes in red and blood vessels in green. Honorable Mention, 2011 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition®.

Cone and rod mitochondria: electron tomography

Cone and rod mitochondria: electron tomography

The inner segment of photoreceptors in the retina is packed with long, thin mitochondria that contain curved cristae. This image by Toichiro Kuwabara is of a photoreceptor from human retina, and appe...

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...

This study of the zebrafish eye is a series of four images taken at increasing magnifications. This image, the first image is the SEM block face of the zebrafish eye. This is followed by a second im...

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, ...

Large scale mosaic imaging with retrograde labeling of retinal ganglion cells

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...
