Elio Raviola, Norton Gilula, Giuseppina Raviola (2011) CIL:10914, Macaca mulatta, retinal cone cell, retinal bipolar neuron, horizontal cell. CIL. Dataset

Freeze fracture images of synaptic junctions in the retina of Macaca mulatta. The electron micrograph in the top panel shows two invaginating synapses between cone and horizontal cells in the outer plexiform layer of the retina. Arrows indicate regions of particle aggregation on the presynaptic side, candidate channels associated with vesicle release), the stars point to exposed internal specializations, candidate receptor sites, on the postsynaptic plasma membrane. The micrograph in the lower panel shows two postsynaptic processes of a dyad synapse in the inner plexiform layer. Arrows indicate aggregations of particles associated with the e-face of the freeze fracture replica. Upper micrograph reprinted from E. Raviola and N. B. Gilula, J. Cell Biol, 1975); lower micrograph courtesy of E. Raviola and G. Raviola. Figure 10 from Chapter 1 (The Cell Surface) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB's BioEDUCATE website.

猕猴视网膜中突触接合部的冻结断裂图像。上方面板中的电子显微镜图像展示了视网膜外丛状层中锥细胞与水平细胞之间的两个内陷突触。箭头指示前突触侧颗粒聚集区域，这些区域是与之相关的囊泡释放候选通道，而星号指向暴露的内部特殊结构，即候选受体位点，位于后突触质膜上。下方面板中的显微镜图像展示了内丛状层中一个双突触的两种后突触过程。箭头指示与冻结断裂复制品的e面相关的颗粒聚集。上方显微镜图像重印自E. Raviola和N. B. Gilula，J. Cell Biol，1975年）；下方显微镜图像由E. Raviola和G. Raviola提供。该图像为第一章（细胞表面）中的第10图，收录于Don W. Fawcett M.D.所著的《细胞》第2版。相关章节的PDF副本可在ASCB的BioEDUCATE网站上获取。
