Conical tomography of a ribbon synapse: structural evidence for vesicle fusion.

Conical tomography of a ribbon synapse: structural evidence for vesicle fusion.

To characterize the sites of synaptic vesicle fusion in photoreceptors, we evaluated the three-dimensional structure of rod spherules from mice exposed to steady bright light or dark-adapted for periods ranging from 3 to 180 minutes using conical electron tomography. Conical tilt series from mice re...
