Phaco emulsification: trials and tribulations

Many of the retinal cell types in both vertebrate and invertebrate eyes have already been investigated using these techniques. As is well known, this has resulted in the positive identification of the physiologic response of vertebrate photoreceptors and certain other retinal neurons. These results are among the most important in recent visual physiology. As interest in intracellular staining increases we can expect to see its greater use in the central pathways of vision and a more detailed anatomic use of the method as practical methods of electron microscopy are combined with intracellular staining. What just a few years ago seemed a Utopian dream of linking structure and function in the visual system is now being realized in an intracellular staining epoch of visual research William H. Miller
