Inner plexiform layer of retina in which ON bipolar cells express a green flourescent protein under control of the promotor for the mGlur6 receptor. Phosphokinase C (red) and Purkinje cell protein 2 (blue) are tagged with fluorescent antibodies. Most ON bipolar cells contain Purkinje cell protein 2 but one type, CB7, does not.
