| Method | The horizontal meridian containing the optic disc and fovea was embedded in glycol methacrylate, serially sectioned in a plane perpendicular to the retinal layers at 2-3 µm and stained with azure II-methylene blue or basic fuschin-methylene blue. |
| Comments | During the time course of researchers' study, the individual cones forming the foveola undergo a remarkable thinning and elongation (Figs 4-9 Table 2). |
