"Despite the large size
range, the intense Nissl substance in the cytoplasm and
the prominent nucleus and nucleolus made the retinal
ganglion cells easy to distinguish from the much smaller
displaced amacrine cells [ovoid granular nuclei average
diameter of 10.9µm (range 7.2–14.8µm, SD = 1.9µm)
and no visible Nissl substance] and glial soma [uniformly
dark nuclei with an average diameter of 5.1µm (range
3.9–6.8µm, SD = 0.9µm)]." |
