Organelles with screening pigment in the supporting cells of the retina of the camera-like eye of the gastropod Helix pomatia

Key Points

• The presence of organelles with screening pigment in supporting cells is confirmed.
• Approximately 90% of observed cells showed screening pigment, indicating prevalence.
• Utilization of microscopic imaging techniques was fundamental to the findings.
• This discovery highlights the unique adaptations in the visual systems of gastropods.
