A double-barreled microelectrode is used as described elsewhere by Linsenmeier and Yancey and inserted into the vitreous through a 15-gauge needle mounted onto a manipulator that allows gonioscopic motion. A boot system is installed to maintain intraocular pressure and to prevent vitreal leakage. The microelectrode is then connected to a microdrive that controls movement in and out of the retina. One barrel, filled with isotonic sodium chloride solution and connected to an amplifier via a silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) wire, measures voltages generated in the retina (the intraretinal electroretinogram and the transepithelial potential across the retinal pigment epithelium). The copper wire from the other barrel is connected to a polarizing voltage (−0.7 V) and a picoammeter to measure currents proportional to PO 2. Figure Legend:
