Shape
Two amacrine cells with distinctive shapes. They can be easily mapped to their respective class in the catalog.
[1]
Amacrine cells send projections from their cell bodies into the inner plexiform layer. These projections arborize differently for different subtypes of amacrine cells. Amacrine cells have these projections distributed roughly circularly in the inner plexiform layer, though some subtypes arborize asymmetrically. Most amacrine cells can be classified according to the diameter of their projection arborization: "narrow-field" cells have arbors less than 125 µm in diameter, "medium-field" cell arbors range from 125 to 400 µm in diameter, and "wide-field" cell arbors are larger than 400 µm.
