TIL about the “Ribbon synapse” which is here found at a cone terminal with BCs and HCs (horizontal cells).

The ribbon synapse should be visible as a small dark band with vesicles on both sides. These ribbons are a specialization at the photoreceptor and bipolar cell terminals. Outside the retina, they are present in a few sensory cells. They are thought to allow for well-controlled, persistent neurotransmitter release
