Fig. 1: Retinal layers and their dynamics in response to visual stimuli.

From: Light-evoked deformations in rod photoreceptors, pigment epithelium and subretinal space revealed by prolonged and multilayered optoretinography

a Averaged retinal B-scan (n = 125) from the same location. b Despeckled retinal B-scan, generated by averaging individual B-scans (n = 125) from a neighboring region, allows better resolving photoreceptors’ OS, RPE, and BrM layers. An enlarged view of the magenta dashed box is shown in Fig. 3b. Both scans were acquired after 12 h of dark adaptation. Scale bar: 50 µm. c ORG signals obtained from various hyperreflective bands in the outer retina by taking the BrM as the reference. d ORG signals obtained at various depths in the mixed layer relative to IS/OS, with colors matching the corresponding bars at the bottom right of Fig. 1a. RNFL: retinal nerve fiber layer; GCL: ganglion cell layer; IPL: inner plexiform layer; INL: inner nuclear layer; OPL: outer plexiform layer; ONL: outer nuclear layer; ELM: external limiting membrane; IS/OS: inner segment/outer segment junction; OS: outer segment; RPE: retinal pigment epithelium; BrM: Bruch’s membrane.
