Following Ca2+ imaging, retinas were mounted onto filter paper (0.8 μm pore size, Millipore) and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (in PBS) for 15 min at 4°C. Immunolabelling was performed using antibodies against ChAT (choline-acetyltransferase; goat anti-ChAT, 1:100, AB144P, Millipore), GAD67 (glutamate decarboxylase; mouse anti-GAD67, 1:100, MAB5046, Millipore), SMI-32 (mouse anti-SMI32, 1:100, SMI-32R-100, Covance), and melanopsin (rabbit anti-melanopsin, 1:4000, AB-N38, Advanced Targeting Systems) for 4 days. Secondary antibodies were Alexa Fluor conjugates (1:750, 16 hours, Life Technologies). For each retina, the recorded region was identified by the local blood vessel pattern and confirmed by comparing size and position of individual somata in the GCL. Image stacks were acquired on a confocal microscope (Nikon Eclipse C1) equipped with a x60 oil objective (1.4 NA). The degree of immunolabelling of GCL cells was evaluate and rated (from 0, negative, to 4 positive) using z-stacks. Attribution of labelled somata to recorded ones was performed manually using ImageJ (http://imagej.nih.gov/ij ) and IGOR Pro.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
