Figure 3

(A and B) Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image depicting the OS/CC interface. CC (white arrow), discs en face (star), and cilium and discs (yellow asterisks) from photoreceptors are shown, with MT doublets connected to Y-links outlined in yellow boxes. Scale bar 200 nm. (C and D) CC from neighboring photoreceptor cells. Y-links (yellow boxes) are visible. Scale bar: 50 nm. (E and F) Image of cilium and discs (white asterisk) from another photoreceptor cell. Y-links (yellow box) are visible. Scale bar: 100 nm; inset (G) scale bar: 50 nm. CC, connecting cilium; OS, outer segment; MT, microtubule.
