Three dimensional view of retina


This is a three dimensional SEM (scanning electron microscopy) view of retina. The eye balls were taken from mice body, cut to remove the anterior portions (lens, iris, cornea and anterior half of sclera) of eyes. The specimens were dissolved with KOH to remove the connective tissue and junctional proteins. Top is the anterior site and the bottom is the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE; that is removed in the middle figure). Choroidal side of the RPE shows the infolding.
