Retina under the Microscope

The retina is a light-sensitive layer of tissue that lines the inner surface of the eye. The optics of the eye create an image of the visual world on the retina, and it plays a very similar function as the film in a camera.

The images below of the retina were captured using a biological microscope and a 5 mega pixel microscope digital camera.
