We report a quantitative analysis of the major populations of cells
present in the retina of the C57 mouse. Rod and cone photoreceptors were counted using differential interference contrast microscopy in
retinal whole mounts. Horizontal, bipolar, amacrine, and Müller cells were identified in serial section electron micrographs assembled into serial montages. Ganglion cells and displaced amacrine cells were
counted by subtracting the number of axons in the optic nerve, learned
from electron microscopy, from the total neurons of the ganglion cell
layer. The results provide a base of reference for future work on
genetically altered animals and put into perspective certain recent
studies. Comparable data are now available for the retinas of the
rabbit and the monkey. With the exception of the monkey fovea, the
inner nuclear layers of the three species contain populations of cells
that are, overall, quite similar. This contradicts the previous belief
that the retinas of lower mammals are "amacrine-dominated", and
therefore more complex, than those of higher mammals.
