Popis: Verschueren et al. expand our understanding of the Stiles-Crawford effect in mammals by using super-high resolution expansion microscopy of the adult macaque eye. They show that cone photoreceptors have a planar polarity organized radially around the optical center of the eye and that Usher proteins establish a mechanical continuity between the outer and inner segments, which sheds light on the Stiles-Crawford effect in this species.
