The number and topographical distribution of photoreceptors was studied in whole-mounted retinas of Cebus apella. It was estimated a total of 48 million rods and 3.8 million cones. The average peak foveal cone density and the Nyquist Limit at the foveola were estimated as 169, 127 cells/mm(2) and 46.77 +/- 7.98 cyc/deg, respectively. A cone-enriched rim was found near the ora serrata, more noticeable in the nasal retina. Rod distribution was asymmetrical along horizontal and vertical meridians with a higher density in the dorsal retina. The rod/cone ratio was variable and asymmetrical along both meridians.
