Photomicrographs of a transverse section of the eye of the African five-lined skink (View A toluidine blue × 100 by scale bar 100 µm) and enlarged transverse section of the retina (View B toluidine blue × 400 by scale bar 30 µm). They explained mainly the layers of retina, they showing the following structures, cartilaginous cup (CC) was located between choroid (C) and sclera (S) and retina(R) and the retinal layers were, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), photoreceptor layer (PRL), outer limiting membrane (OLM), outer nuclear layer (ONL), outer plexiform layer (OPL), inner plexiform layer (INL), inner plexiform layer (IPL) ganglion cell layer (GCL), (NFL) nerve fiber layer and inner limiting membrane (ILM)
