title: The morphology of the visual cells of young (2 1/2 months) and old (17 months) albino mice.
abstract: The visual cells of 2 1/2 m and 17 m mice retinas were compared by scanning electronmicroscopy. A slight decrease in visual cell number per unit area and smaller size phagosomes were observed in the aged retinas. Less mucopolysaccharide was also the feature in the 17 m retinas.
