Abstract
Our understanding of retinal function has benefited from the introduction of intracellular marking techniques that allow a particular cell to be fully characterized both as to its physiological function and morphology. The Procion yellow intracellular injection technique originally introduced by Stretton and Kravitz (1968) and perfected for use in the retina by Kaneko (1970, 1971a, b, and Chapter 11 of this volume) has proved most useful. We have used this technique to identify several retinal cell types and to investigate the origin of S-potentials in the turtle retina.
