Fluorescence of photoreceptor cells observed in vivo.

چکیده
Most rhabdomeres in the eye of the fly (Musca domestica) are fluorescent. One kind of fluorescent emission emanates from a photoproduct of the visual pigment, other kinds may be ascribed to photostable pigments. These phenomena provide not only a means of spectrally mapping the retina but also a new spectroscopic tool for analyzing the primary visual processes in vivo.

Comparative Studies of High Contrast Fluorescence Imaging Efficiency of Silica-coated CdSe Quantum Dots with Green and Red Emission
Herein we report the possibility of using green and red emitting silica-coated cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) for remarkable stem and cancer cellular imaging, efficient cellular uptake and fluorescence imaging of semi and ultra-thin sections of tumor for in vivo tumor targeted imaging applications. The comparative studies of high contrast cellular imaging behaviours of the silica-co...
متن کاملEffect of let-7a overexpression on the differentiation of conjunctiva mesenchymal stem cells into photoreceptor-like cells
Objective(s): MicroRNAs (miRNAs) could regulate many cellular processes such as proliferation and differentiation. let-7a miRNA is one of the key regulators in the developmental transition of retinal progenitor cells into differentiated cells. Current evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can isolate from various tissues such as bone marrow and conjuncti...
متن کاملMorphology of retinal photoreceptor layer in continuous light-exposed and dark-adapted male cats
The morphology of retinal photoreceptor layer was studied in continuous light-exposed and dark-adapteddomestic male cats (Felis catus). The eyes of 12 healthy adult cats (4 in continuous light-exposed group, 4 in continuous dark-adapted group, and 4 in control group) were routinely fixed and studied by electron microscope. Results showed that the general structure of photoreceptor layer in this...
متن کاملComparative Retina Stratification in Embryos, Larvae and Adults of Alburnus chalcoides
The present investigation considered retina structure in embryos, larvae and adult Alburnus chalcoides. Histological samples of retina were provided from adult fish, different stages of embryonic and larval development. Eye primordia formed from ectoderm at 16 hours after fertilization (16hAF) and then developed to eye cups. Initial eye cup which contained undifferentiated retina began to form ...
متن کاملMorphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells after transplantation of stem cells into subretinal space
Introduction: Degenerative retinal diseases are main cause of irreversible blindness. Stem cells therapy is a promising way in these diseases. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells because of its safety can produce degenerated cells and can play important role in treatment. The aim of this study was to examine morphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor cells...
