Stratification of ON parasol dendrites in the IPL. The boundaries of the IPL were annotated using Viking software. The IPLdepth function of SBFSEM-tools was used to characterize the distribution of dendrites from the six ON parasol cells. The INL-IPL boundary was designated 0% and the IPL-GCL border 100%. The depth profiles of the six cells were very similar and consistent with previous descriptions of ON parasol cell dendrites arborizing in stratum 4 of the IPL.
