Transmission electron micrograph of longitudinal section through the double and single cones of the African five-lined skink (View A Micro.Mag × 1500 by scale bar 5 µm), Longitudinal section through ellipsoidal region of the photoreceptors (cone), (View B Micro.Mag × 4000 by scale bar 2 µm) and enlarged view of ellipsoid (View C Micro.Mag × 15,000 by scale bar 500 nm). They explained the major member of the double cone has oil droplet (OD), MV microvilli of Muller cell (MV), paraboloid (PP), ellipsoid(E), principal cone (pc), accessory cone (AC), single cone (SC), and mitochondria (M)
