Using this preparation, they had recorded ERG's with a- and b-waves and an off-response similar to those recorded in vivo. Dr. Sickel and his co-workers have used this preparation since in a number of important studies (eg, Sickel, W.: "Stoffwechsel und Funktion . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
