Figure 1

Map of the location in the retina of monkey 1 where in-vivo images (heavy border squares) and RPC network thickness measures (dots) were made. The superior retina was prepared as a wholemount, but because this preparation compressed the tissue no measurements of radial peripapillary bed (RPC) or nerve fiber layer (NFL) thickness were made in this location. The lower retina was sectioned (fine dotted lines) parallel to the horizontal raphe (heavy dashed line). The ellipse shows the location of the optic disc and "x" represents the foveal location. Curving lines show the course of nerve fibers identified from fundus images. Numerical values for RPC network thickness and NFL thickness (in parentheses) were measured with ex-vivo confocal microscopy. In-vivo FAOSLO measures of thicknesses of the RPC network are shown in larger font numbers. RPC thickness in corresponding locations (thin border squares) in the lower retina are shown in italics. The heavy dotted line shows the location of the sections illustrated in Figure 2.
