Transmission electron micrograph of the Retinal pigment layer of African five-lined skink. (View A Micro.Mag × 1200 by scale bar 20 µm & View B Micro.Mag × 2500 by scale bar 5 µm) explained the following structures: the choroid (CH) and pigment epithelial cell (PE) with their characteristic oval nucleus (N) and prominent nucleoli(nu). There are large number of variable shaped melanosomes (Me), choriocapillary layer (CC), Bruchʼ membrane (BM), and photoreceptor layer (PRL)
