THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF THE PIGMENT EPITHELIUM AND OF THE PHOTORECEPTOR-PIGMENT EPITHELIUM JUNCTION IN THE HUMAN RETINA.

The ultrastructure of retinal pigment epithelium and of its junctions with both the photoreceptors and the choroid was studied in two human eyes. The general organization of the pigment epithelium is similar to that reported for filtering epithelia and suggests the existence of important metabolic relationships between pigment cells and photoreceptors. Peculiar lamellated bodies were observed in the pigment cells. The probable mechanism of origin of these bodies from the photoreceptors' outer segments and their cycle in the pigment cell are suggested.
