Short Description: | 'Foveal Firework' Cells bodies of cones are seen in the center of the photo while their axons project outwards radially, and naturally form this firework-like structure (40x objective, confocal microscopy). This image was obtained two months after injection of a viral vector delivered intravitreally and carrying a fluorescent gene reporter. |

Short Description: | Overlay of a confocal image of the three retinal vascular plexus of the rat. The retinal flatmount was stained with isolectin B4 and the plexus were false color-coded (red: superficial vascular plexus, green: intermediate vascular plexus, blue: deep vascular plexus). |

Short Description: | This image is of the ciliary body of the developing chicken eye (Gallus gallus domesticus) on embryonic day 14. Similarly to humans, in healthy adult chickens, the ciliary body is responsible for holding the lens in place, as well as aqueous humour production and outflow. In recent decades the use of the chick eye as a model for vision research has rapidly expanded to include studies in corneal disease, glaucoma, ocular cancer and retinal disease. The similarities between human and chicken eyes, combined with the ease of handling, low cost and fully sequenced genome will likely continue to progress the growing body of ocular research in the chick model. |
