Transmission electron micrograph of the retina of the African five-lined skink showing the outer nuclear layer (View A Micro.Mag × 2000 by scale bar 2 µm & View B Micro.Mag × 4000 by scale bar 2 µm) and the outer nuclear layer and the outer plexiform layer (View C Micro.Mag × 2000 by scale bar 2 µm) and enlarged view of synaptic pedicle of the cone (View D Micro.Mag × 10,000 by scale bar 500 nm) they explained the nuclei (N) of the photoreceptor cells indicating that the cells of the retinal pigment epithelium adhere by tight junction (circle). microvilli (MV), synaptic terminal (S) of the cone, and one pedicle (CP)
