Abstract

Müller cells in the human retina were labeled darkly, by treatment with ruthenium red, and their tall columnar outline, lateral fine branches, and expanded end-feet were clearly demonstrated. In addition, the structural relationship between the retinal capillary and Müller and accessory glial cells are also shown. This dye is useful for analysis of the cytoarchitecture of the glial cells in the human retina.
