Rings of cross-striated fibrils within the cat cone pedicle: a computer-assisted serial EM analysis.

Abstract

Using serial electron micrographs and a computer reconstruction system the authors have examined the three-dimensional cytoarchitecture of the cat cone pedicle. These reconstructions reveal that within each pedicle is a closed 4-6 micron diameter ring of cross-striated fibrils similar to the nonring structures described in photoreceptor inner and outer segments by others in guinea pig, rat, chick, monkey, and humans. Our cone pedicle rings …
