Müller glial cells act as living optical fbers, transporting light through the inverted
retina of vertebrates. Wilh their funnel-shaped endfeet, Müller cells collect light at the retinal surface
and guide it to photoreceptor cells on the opposite side. Images are thus transmitted through optically
distorting tissue (K. Franze et al. (2007)
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 104, 8287–8292
). Image courtesy of
