The mammalian photoreceptor mosaic-adaptive design.

Progress in retinal and eye research - 1 Nov 2000

Ahnelt P K, Kolb H

Abstract excerpt

Unlike in birds and cold-blooded vertebrates' retinas, the photoreceptors of mammalian retinas were long supposed to be morphologically uniform and difficult to distinguish into subtypes. A number of new techniques have now begun to overcome the previous limitations. A hitherto unexpected variability of spectral and morphological subtypes and topographic patterns of distribution in the various retinas are being...
