“…Seldom reconstructed SRs were curved or crescent shaped (Fig. 2a, ), as was also described for SRs in retina (Sjöstrand 1974(Sjöstrand , 1976McCartney and Dickson 1985;Rao-Mirotznik et al 1995) and the organ of Corti (Sobkowicz et al 1982). Cand v-shaped ribbon profiles, spheres and intermediate structures were rare (cf.…”

“…In electron-microscopic sections they appear as electron-dense rod-like profiles measuring about 150-200 nm in length with a thickness of 30-40 nm, surrounded by electron-lucent vesicles. Three-dimensional reconstructions of SRs from serial sections in retina (Sjöstrand 1974(Sjöstrand , 1976McCartney and Dickson 1985), organ of Corti (Sobkowicz et al 1982) and pineal gland (McNulty et al 1986;Robertson and Dickson 1987) have clearly demonstrated the presence of plate-like SRs. However, applying a goniometer to pineal tissue, it was found that singly lying SRs were rodlike, whereas SRs lying in groups were plate-like (Theron et al 1981).…”

“…However, each cat spherule has a twist in its ribbon-where the two pairs of apposed lateral elements abut-and two bifurcation ridgelines. Similarly, McCartney and Dickson (1985;their Fig. 2) show guinea pig rods with one ribbon, and that ribbon has a twist like the ones in the cat spherules.…”

“…Horizontal cells provide the lateral elements (Missotten, 1965;Stell, 1965Stell, , 1967, and rod bipolar cells provide the central elements (Sjöstrand, 1958;Missotten, 1965). The most prominent presynaptic structure associated with the triad is the flat, synaptic ribbon (Sjöstrand, 1953;Ladman, 1958;McCartney and Dickson, 1985), which appears as a stripe in cross section (e.g., Fig. 1C).…”
