Fig. 31. Fovea of Macaca mulatta just prior to birth (159 days; term at 162 to 165 days). One interrupted row of ganglion cells and one to two layers of bipolar cells still extend across the foveal depression. A wide and well-developed horizontal outer plexiform layer of Henle (asterisks) and elongated cone inner and outer segments are present. The parafoveal area has the large accumulation of cells in the ganglion (G) and inner nuclear layer (IN) characteristic of the mature macula (× 95). |
