The photoreceptors of the chameleon retina (Chamaleo chamaleo). A Golgi study.
Using the Golgi method two types of cones were found in the chameleon retina: single and double cones, whose axons give a different pattern in the central and in the peripheral areas of the retinal. No rods were observed by this method in the retina of this animal.
