Electrondense cell inclusions of the human cone inner segments.
Electrondense cell inclusions resembling lysosomes are described in macular human cone inner segments. The organelles were regularly localized just outside the external limiting membrane, and only one or very few of them were present in each cell. For the first time it is shown that these organelles drain their content into the intercellular space between the photoreceptors.
