Results
Specimen 3A: postnatal (more )
Note: Vibratome sections were used. After staining, fixed with 0.5% OsO4, then embedded in araldite and ultrathin sections were analyzed with a transmission electron microscope.
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: photoreceptor layer retinal rod cell Present 3A Expressed in the collarlike extension of the apical inner segment, and in the base of the outer segment.
Specimen 3B: postnatal (more )
Note: Vibratome sections were used. After staining, fixed with 0.5% OsO4, then embedded in araldite and ultrathin sections were analyzed with a transmission electron microscope.
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: photoreceptor layer retinal rod cell Present 3B Expressed in the collarlike extension of the apical inner segment, at the basal body complex, in the connecting cilium and in the base of the outer segment.
Specimen 3C: postnatal (more )
Note: Vibratome sections were used. After staining, fixed with 0.5% OsO4, then embedded in araldite and ultrathin sections were analyzed with a transmission electron microscope.
