type 6 cone bipolar cellWassle (Wassle)

Type 5 (n = 10, Fig 1F, left) and type 6 (n = 6, Fig. 1F, right), both have a very narrow ramification. By using Normaski optics, the two cell types can be distinguished by their stratification level within the IPL relative to a band of higher optical density (Fig. 1A, arrow), which is localized at the border of strata 3 and 4 and represents the inner cholinergic band.synonym
The shape of this cell and the stratification of its axon terminal closely resemble those of type 6 cells described by Euler and Wassle (1995) and Hartveit (1997).Ivanova E. & Muler F.Mihail Bota
