Trans. Vis. Sci. Tech ;1(3):2. doi: /tvst.1.3.2
Figure Legend:
Bright-field micrographs of plastic sections show that compared with DFP-untreated rd6 mice (A, left), DFP-treated mice (A, right) had better preservation of photoreceptor morphology with thicker ONL and inner and outer segments. Scale bar 50 μm. ONL, outer nuclear layer. Thickness of the ONL of DFP-untreated (red) and DFP-treated (gray) rd6 mice at 6 months of age is shown in a spider diagram (B). The measurements were taken at 400 μm intervals from the optic nerve head (ONH). The asterisk denotes significant difference (P < 0.05) between the means of two groups.
