Figure 7

Transmission electron micrographs of ribbon synapses between RGCs and bipolar cells in the inner plexiform layer. After 8 weeks of intraocular pressure elevation, synapse diameter (A) and the number of synaptic vesicles (C) increased, and active zone length (B) and the number of docked vesicles (D) decreased. For electron microscopy, n=6 for control and n=6 for glaucoma retinas at 8 weeks, total n=12. *P< 0.05 compared with the control. Scale bars=0.5 μm.
