H. M. Reznikov. To the doctrine of the structure of the retina. -Diss. SPb. 1897 year

The work was carried out in the laboratory arranged by the author at the zemstvo emergency room. The author made his research according to the Golgi-Cajal method. At the beginning of the work, the author gives a short historical overview of the study of the structure of the retina, then describes the technique of the Golgi method in applying to the retina and finally gives the results of his own studies on birds. The author's conclusions are as follows: In day birds, the position of the nuclei in the outer nuclear, the layer is fixed only at the rods (near the outer border of the outer gossip-like layer). The cone nuclei lie in this layer at different heights. In night birds, cones and rods have the same base of legs and the same exact arrangement of nuclei as in mammals; fixed nuclei (at the inner border of m. limitans externa) have only cones. And so, the visual cells in night and day birds represent an inverse relationship in the sense of the position and fixation of the nuclei.
