Abstract
Using a reduced-silver neurofibrillar method, we stained a population of bipolar cells in the capybara retina. These cells are distributed t hroughout the retina following the same topography of other retinal ce ll classes as the A-type horizontal cells and ganglion cells. The leve l of axonal stratification, mosaic regularity, and dendritic coverage factor suggest that these neurofibrillar bipolar cells comprise a popu lation of sublamina a cone bipolar cells.
