Figure 5

(a–d) Maximum intensity projections of confocal image stacks of whole mount eyes in the background of Tg(sws1:GFP; sws2:mCherry). Ultraviolet and blue cone distributions are shown for standard morpholino-injected animals (a,b; control) and in thrb morphants (MO). Scale bars, 50 μm. (e–h) Example of an H3 HC visualized in thrb MO, and its connectivity map. Arrowheads in the oblique view of the cell (g,h) indicate dendritic tips invaginating blue cones. Scale bars, 5 μm. (i–l) Population data comparing mean measurements in control (ctr) and thrb MO. See Methods for details of analysis. Each open circle represents one H3 HC. Error bars are s.e.m. P-values from Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney rank sum test.
