Caption

The ultra structure of rod outer segment (OS) and nuclear morphology was assessed by transmission electron microscopy. Micrographs of rod OS proximal to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) from wild-type (WT) control (U), Crx^tm1.1Smgc/Crx⁺ (E168d2/+, V) and Crx^tm1Smgc/Crx⁺ (E168d2neo/+, W) mice. Crx^tm1.1Smgc/Crx⁺ OS's are highly disorganized showing 'wave-like' OS membrane stacks (asterisks), vesiculated membranes '+' and vertically oriented OS membranes (triangles). Crx^tm1Smgc/Crx⁺ OS's only show minor 'wave-like' patterns and vesiculated membranes.
