Caption

A-D: Semithin retinal sections of wild type and Rs1^tm1Web/Y mice at 2 months of age. In meridional sections, the thickness of the central retina is markedly reduced in hemizygous mice ( B & C) as compared with wild type mice (A). In some hemizygous mouse eyes, photoreceptor outer segments (POS) are present (B), whereas others show partial or complete absence of the POS (C). In hemizygous mouse eyes with areas of preserved POS, large gaps are present between the cells of the INL (arrows in B). Such gaps are absent in areas with complete degeneration of POS(C). D: Oblique tangential section through the INL of an hemizygous mouse retina reveals large extracellular gaps (white arrows). In some of the gaps, cell bodies or microglia are observed (black arrow). Abbreviations: photoreceptor outer segments (os); outer nuclear layer (onl); outer plexiform layer (opl); inner nuclear layer (inl); inner plexiform layer (ipl) ganglion cell layer (gcl). Scale bars: A-C: 25um; D; 2.8um
