Submicroscopic Changes in Visual Cells of the Rabbit Induced by Iodoacetate

Alterations produced by iodoacetate in visual cells have been studied under the electron microscope. Lesions of the outer segments of the rods are visible as early as 3 hours after a single injection of 20 mg. iodoacetate per kg. body weight.
