===Retina===
Complex multilayered structure:
Simplified structure - eosinophilic material separating:
*Two layers of small round nuclei.
#Intermediate size, round, pale-staining nuclei (ganglion cells).
*Eosinophilic ellipsoid structures (rods/cones).
#Two layers of small round nuclei (inner and outer nuclear layer).
#Eosinophilic ellipsoid structures - rods/cones (photoreceptors).
#Single layer of cuboidal cells (retinal pigment epithelium.
 
Detailed structure - in direction light travels:
#Inner limiting membrane.
#Nerve fibre layer.
#Ganglion layer.
#Inner plexiform layer.
#Inner nuclear layer.
#Outer plexiform layer.
#Outer nuclear layer.
#Layer of rods and cones.
#External limiting membrane.
#Retinal pigment epithelium.
