Fig. 22 Magnification of the retina, showing the slope or clivus (CL) meeting the floor of the foveola (F). The junction (arrows) marks the termination of the inner nuclear layer (IN) and of the retinal capillaries (astericks). The ganglion cells (G) terminate approximately 30 μm before the inner layer. The internal limiting membrane continues uninterrupted. HL, Henle's fibre layer; P, photoreceptors of retina. Photomicrograph, original magnification ×485. (From Tripathi RC, Tripathi BJ.
