Hypothetical Morphotypes of Microglia. Each microglia morphotype was taken from flat-mounted retinas of C57BL6 mice which were stained with Iba-1 using the staining method in¹⁶. Diagram taken from⁸. The morphotypes in dashed bubbles (hyper-ramified, activated and rod) may be considered the intermediate states between the ramified and amoeboid.
