Confocal microscopy image of retinal section.

<p>Type VII collagen-positive vesicles (LH7.2; green) around two cell nuclei (white arrowheads) in the inner plexiform layer (IPL). Note filamentous GFAP (polyclonal; red) labeling within the nerve fiber layer and around blood vessels. Within the lumen of blood vessels, autofluorescent erythrocytes (*) are seen. They can be discriminated from the corpus amylaceum (white arrow) in terms of fluorescence intensity, size and location. The inner limiting membrane (ILM) directly above the left blood vessel shows some focal positivity for type VII collagen labeling. A control section does not show any Col VII or GFAP labeling. GCL ganglion cell layer. (400x, inset 960x)
