*These data correspond to mean of 10 measurements from the central retina of a single specimen. F, female; INL, inner nuclear layer; IPL, inner plexiform layer; L, left eye; M, male; ONL, outer nuclear layer; OPL, outer plexiform layer; R, right eye; ROS, rod outer segment; RIS, rod inner segment; TL, total length.
