- Abstract
The total number, size, topographic distribution and peak density of ganglion cells were studied in retinal wholemounts of the fur seal, Callorhinus ursinus. The cell distribution showed a distinct zone of high ganglion cell density. It was located in the temporal retinal quadrant, near the horizontal meridian, 10-12 mm (25-31°) from the optic disk. The peak cell density in this zone was 812-1332 cells/mm2 (mean 1053 cells/mm2), i.e. 125-205 cells/deg2 (mean 162 cells/deg2). These data predict a retinal resolution of 5.6.-7.1 cycle/deg. The ganglion cell soma size ranged from 10 to 50 μm. Cell size histograms were bimodal in shape with modes below and above 30 μn. Copyright © 1992 S. Karger AG, Basel
