(a) The cell layout in the retina is highly stereotypical. This plastic section through an
embryonic zebrafish retina has been overlaid for illustration. The lens is at the top and retinal pigment
epithelium at the bottom. Red: ganglion cell; light blue: Mueller cell; green: amacrine cell; dark blue:
horizontal cell; yellow: bipolar cell; pink: rod photoreceptor; orange: cone photoreceptor. (b) Plastic
sections through an adult human (left) and embryonic zebrafish (right) retina. The relative positions of the
various cell types are the same in both. (Reprinted fromGoldsmith and Harris (2003) with permission from
