Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) B-scan of the fovea from a normal 34-year-old volunteer acquired with a FD-OCT instrument scanning 5mm laterally. The instrument was built by Jack Werner's group at UC, Davis. Abbreviations: FoH, fibers of Henle; GCL, ganglion cell layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; IPL, inner plexiform layer; ISL, inner segment layer; NFL, nerve fiber layer; ONL, outer nuclear layer; OPL, outer plexiform layer; OSL, outer segment layer; RPE, retinal pigment epithelium, choriocapillaris and choroid. The outer limiting membrane (OLM; sometimes called external limiting membrane (ELM)), connecting cilia (CC; sometimes called inner/outer segment junction), Verhoeff's membrane (VM; sometimes called cone photoreceptor outer segment tips (COST)) and rod photoreceptor outer segment tips (ROST) may also be seen. ROST and RPE appear as one layer in the fovea but are visible as separate layers in the periphery. From Werner et al. (2011).
