Figure 4. Representative virtual cross sections from noninvasive SD-OCT imaging in LDA and LD retinas after light exposure.

Figure 4

36 h (upper panel) and 7 d (lower panel). (A, C) LDA cross sections maintained similar laminar architecture at both time points. Signal composition in (B) LD retina 36 h after light exposure appeared similar compared to (A) LDA retina at the same time point. However, (D) 7 days after light exposure LD retina revealed near complete loss of ONL and photoreceptor inner/outer segments. LD: Animals with light exposure; LDA: Animals with ketamine-xylazine anesthesia before light exposure; NFL-IPL: Nerve fiber layer - inner plexiform layer; INL: Inner nuclear layer; OPL: Outer plexiform layer; ONL: Outer nuclear layer; ELM: External limiting membrane; I/OS: Inner/outer segment border; RPE/Ch: Retinal pigment epithelium/Choroid.
