All remaining cones are strongly labeled with 7G6. Their outer segments are very short. The macular cones are reduced to a single layer of cell bodies that are strongly labeled with 7G6. Their outer segments have formed a layer of 7G6-positive debris in the subretinal space. As revealed by labeling with anti-rhodopsin, the rods have very short or absent outer segments and rhodopsin is delocalized to their cell bodies and long neurites extending into the inner retina.
Arrowhead indicates inner limiting membrane.
Autofluorescent lipofuscin is present in the retinal pigment epithelium at the bottom of the panels.
