Figure 2

The histological findings of the SD and S334ter rats (hematoxylin and eosin staining). (a) An SD rat on P69. (b) An S334ter rat on P22. (c) The same rat as panel B (high magnification). Arrow indicates an area of reduced chromatin density. (d) The S334ter rat on P36. The S334ter rat on P61. The numeral indicates each retinal layer: 1, nerve fiber layer; 2, ganglion cell layer; 3, inner plexiform layer; 4, inner nuclear layer; 5, outer plexiform layer; 6, outer nuclear layer; 7, photoreceptor rod and cone layer; 8, retinal pigment epithelium and choroid.
