Figure 5. Volumes of rod outer segments from 1-month old mice.

Figure 5

Volumes were calculated from measurements of width and length (Table 3), assuming that the rod outer segments are cylinders (V = πr2h). Genotypes are abbreviated below the figure: 1 Rho is mRho+/−, 2 Rho is mRho+/+, 3 Rho is mRho+/+NHRE+/0, 4 Rho is mRho+/+NHRE+/+, 1Rho+P23H is mRho+/−P23H+/0, 2 Rho+P23H is mRho+/+P23H+/0, and 3 Rho is mRho+/+NHRE+/0P23H+/0. Error bars represent the propagated error from the width and length measurements in Table 3, which were used in the calculation of volume. P values were determined for mice that differed by 1 copy of rhodopsin gene, using Student’s t-test. ** indicates P<0.001.
