Schematic image of the RPE-Bruch’s membrane-choriocapillaris interface in AMD. Basal laminar deposits (BlamDs; **) appear between the RPE cell and the RPE basement membrane (RPE BM), while basal linear deposits (BlinDs; *) localize at the inner collagenous layer (ICL) beneath the RPE basement membrane. EL: elastin layer; OCL: outer collagenous layer; arrowhead indicates endothelial cell basement membrane.
