Comparison of the SD-OCT, histological, and electron microscopic findings of RHO S334ter rats (line 4). (a) An SD-OCT image of an RHO S334ter rat on P34. (b, c) Histological images (low and high magnifications) of RHO S334ter rat on P36, respectively. (d, e) Low and high magnifications of electron microscopic views of the same rat. Note the degeneration of the inner and outer segments of photoreceptors and the accumulations of a large amount of extracellular granular materials. Bars indicate 100 μm in (b), 20 μm in (c), 10 μm in (d), and 2 μm in (e).
