Ultrastructural and electrophysiological determination of the patency of monkey cone outer segment membranes

Cone photoreceptors support the high-acuity color vision characteristic of many primates, including humans. In several nonmammalian species, such as amphibians, the light-sensitive disk membranes within cone outer segments (COSs) are fully open to the extracellular space and cont...
