The Retinal Research Group studies cellular changes that occur following retinal detachment and reattachment. They are also developing new therapies for the treatment of retinal detachment. In this process, they are generating thousands of high quality images of tissue samples in the form of electron micrographs and laser scanning confocal images.

The UCSB retinal image collection contains a wide variety of both wholemount and retinal section images with key retinal structures labeled with antibodies. The purpose of this collection is to further the study of retinal detachment.
When looking into someone's eyes, we can easily see several structures.
Immunocytochemistry for confocal microscopy
Understanding the mechanisms behind the loss and recovery of vision following retinal detachment and reattachment has been the focus of retinal biologists for many years. Analysis is usually done by comparing normal to detached retinas using sections and wholemounts, and considering the difference between two patterns.
