Comparison of synaptic terminals of living bipolar neurons isolated from mouse and goldfish retina. Cells were filled via a whole-cell patch pipette with fluorescein-conjugated RBP and imaged using confocal microscopy. Images are z-axis projections of optical sections through the entire cell. A, An isolated mouse bipolar neuron. The patch pipette is visible, attached to the cell body. B, An isolated goldfish bipolar neuron at the same magnification as A. The patch pipette was removed in this instance prior to imaging. Scale bar applies to A and B. C, Mouse bipolar cell terminal boutons at higher magnification. Different cell from A. D, Goldfish bipolar cell terminal at the same magnification as C. Different cell from B. Scale bar in D applies to C.
