TH-immunoreactive stellate amacrine cellVersaux-Boteri et al (VB)

The stellate amacrine cells had a large ovoid soma (17.58 ± 1.45 X 14.28 ± 076 micrometers) bearing 2-4 primary dendrites in opposite directions. These dendrites were long, straight, and poorly branched. They had a more or less varicose appearance (Fig. 1) and were observed in approximately the same focal plane as the cell bodies, i.e., at the interface between the inner nuclear layer (INL) and the inner plexiform layer (IPL). These flat amacrine cells were more heavily labelled and exhibited more developed processes in the upper retina.includes
...two morphological types of TH-immunoreactive neurons can be observed: stellate cells and small, round perikarya. Both types were amacrine cells.Versaux-Botteri C., Martin-Martinelli E., Nguyen-LeGros J., Geffard M., Vigny A. & Denoroy L.Mihail Bota
TH-immunoreactive small amacrine cellVersaux-Boteri et al (VB)

Small, faintly immunoreactive round somas (7 ± 0.2 micrometers) were also observed in the amacrine cell layer (Figs. 11, 15). It was exceptional to observe the processes of these cells but it is likely that they represented the bouquet cells described previously in young animals, since they sometimes exhibited a short single dendrite. Some of these cells were observed in close contact with cell bodies (Fig. 4).includes
