Description
Light micrograph of a section through a healthy optic nerve. The optic nerve is responsible for vision, carrying information from the rod and cone cells of the retina, via the optic chiasma (an X- shaped junction near the pituitary gland), to the cortex (outer layer) of the occipital (back) lobe of the brain.
