Description
Abstract
We report the morphological differences of
Müller cells in relation to their topography, using the
Golgi method. Müller cells in the central retina are long
and slender, with numerous inner prolongations. In the
peripheral retina, the morphology of the Müller cells
adapts to the reduced thickness of the retina1 layers.
In this zone, they are short and have thick inner
prolongations which end in a large foot in the internal
limiting membrane. In the optic disc margin, Müller cells
have a particular morphology characterized by thick,
arched prolongations that in general form a glial network
between the retina and optic nerve. The ultrastructure of
these cells is also described. The results are discussed
with respect to the nature of Müller cells.
