Retina photoreceptors, TEM
Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the retina showing the transition between the inner (bottom) and outer (top) segments. The inner segment contains mitochondria and a basal body, the origin of a cilium that extends towards the outer segment, that shows many stacked membranous discs. The outer segments are actually modified cilia., by JOSE CALVO / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
