| Abstract: | Summary Quantitative TEM refutes the hypothesis of multivesicular body formation at dawn via the degradation of photoreceptor. No significant relationship exists between multivesicular bodies and rhabdom diameter or between multivesicular bodies and coated vesicles. The density of multivesicular bodies is related to the vesicle-producing Golgi bodies. A new theory concerning the formation and possible function of multivesicular bodies is discussed. |
