Application of scanning electron microscopy in an analysis of the retina of lower vertebrates.

SEM analysis (preparation over the critical point) offers a useful addition to the existing histological preparations. It is suitable for a comparative analysis, in which the arrangement of different cellular elements and their overall distribution is studied.
