Resumen: The fine structure of the retinal lntroduction photorecéptors has been studied by light and electron microscopy in the southern fiddler ray or guitarfish (Trygonorhina fasciata). The duplex retina of this species contains only rods and single cones in a ratio of about 40:l. No multiple receptors (double cones), no repeating pattern or mosaic of photoreceptors and no retinomotor movements of these photoreceptors were noted. The rods are cylindrical cells with inner and outer segments of the same diameter. Cones are shorter, stouter cells with a conical outer segment and a wider inner segment. Rod outer segment discs display severa1 irregular incisures to give a scalloped outline to the discs while cone outer segment discs have only a single incisure. In al1 photoreceptors a non-motile cilium joins the inner and outer segments. The inner segment is the synthetic centre of photoreceptors and in this compartment is located an accumulation of mitochondria (the ellipsoid), profiles of both rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, prominent Golgi zones and frequent autophagic vacuoles. The nuclei of rods and cones have much the same chromatin pattern but cone nuclei are invariably located against or particularly through the externa1 limiting membrane (ELM). Numerous Landolt's clubs which are ciliated dendrites of bipolar cells as well as Müller cell processes project through the ELM, which is composed of a series of zonulae adherentes between these cells and the photoreceptors. The synaptic region of both rods (spherules) and cones (pedicles) display both invaginated (ribbon) synapses and superficial (conventional) synapses with cones showing more sites than the rods.
