Abstract
The presence and retinal distributions of short-wavelength-sensitive c ones, long-wavelength-sensitive cones, and rods were assessed in the r etina of the tree shrew Tupaia belangeri using visual pigment antibodi es OS-2, COS-1 and anti-rhodopsin, respectively. Results demonstrated a clear immunocytochemical differentiation of the three photoreceptor types with each showing regional variation in density across the retin a.
