Retinal vasculature in obe^td15 zebrafish.

OCT en face images of the dorsal retina show inner retinal vessels emerging from the optic nerve region in the wild-type (a) and obe^td15 (b) fish at 12 months post-fertilization, displaying abnormal blood vessel appearance in the mutant retina. Cross-sectional B-scans from wild-type (c) and obe^td15 (d) fish also demonstrate notable differences in vessel size (vessels indicated with *). Numbered brackets (1–4) on the cross-sections represent areas analyzed in the corresponding en face images. Fibrous material was apparent at each depth examined in the vitreous of the obe^td15 retina (3, 4) but was not seen on the wild-type images (1, 2). Hyper-reflective deposits were also noted in the vitreous of the obe^td15 retina on both B-scan (e) and en face (f) images, indicated with arrows. Graph (g) shows retinal vessel thickness plotted against distance from the optic nerve in wild-type and obe^td15 zebrafish. Scale bars = 50 μm.
