Description
These color images show the three-dimensional morphology of an M5 melanopsin retinal ganglion cell from an ex-vivo isolated flat-mount mouse retina preparation. This retinal neuron was visually identified and targeted for patch clamp electrophysiological recordings based on somatic EGFP fluorescence expression the Opn4cre/+;Z/EG+/- mouse line as previously described (Ecker et al., 2010, Neuron). Lucifer yellow dye (green) was dialyzed into the cell by passive diffusion from the recording pipette to reveal dendritic morphology of the M5 cell.
