Figure 5: Co-alignment between cones and Müller cells light guides.

From: Müller cells separate between wavelengths to improve day vision with minimal effect upon night vision

Figure 5

(a) Transmission channel (in red), recorded after 617 nm LED illumination from the retinal surface (ganglion cells side). (b) Reflection channel (in green), obtained by cone selective dye (FITC-PNA), and recorded by fluorescence scheme after 488 nm laser illumination from the photoreceptors side. (c) Merge of the two channels at the photoreceptors layer and in orthogonal Z slices. The Müller cells light-guiding tubes are aligned with the fluorescence green signal emitted from the labelled cones.
