Fig. 7. Photoreceptor outer segments are tilted and clumped in pcdh15b
morphants. Electron micrographs of day 4 (A-C) and day 7 (D-F) retinas of
uninjected or 40 ng pcdh15b ATG Mo-injected larvae. The outer
segments are slanted sideways and the nuclear layer is more condensed in
morphants (B) in comparison to segments in uninjected larvae (A) or control 4
bp mismatch Mo-injected larvae (A'). In pcdh15b morphants,
pigments cell melanosomes are rarely present between photoreceptor outer
segments (B,D). The phenotype does not recover at day 7 and outer segments are
often clustered together (D). (C,F) Higher magnification views of (B) and (E).
Scale bar in F: 1 µm for A,B,D,E; 350 nm for C,F.
