We examined rhabdom structure and the distribution of filamentous actin in the photoreceptor outer segments of the retina ofOctopus bimaculoides.Animals were dark- or light-adapted, fixed, embedded and sectioned for light and electron microscopy. Statistical analyses were used to compare relative cross-sectional areas of rhabdom microvilli and core cytoplasm within and between the two lighting conditions. Dark-/light-adapted rhabdoms were also prepared for confocal laser scanning microscopy and labeled with fluorescence-tagged phalloidin. Results show differences in the morphology of dark- and light-adapted octopus rhabdoms with the cross-sectional areas of the rhabdoms increasing in dark-adapted retinas and diminishing in the light. Comparisons between the lighting conditions show that an avillar portion of the photoreceptor outer segment membrane, prominent in the light-adapted retina, is recruited to form new rhabdomere microvilli in dark-adapted eyes. Filamentous actin was associated with the avillar membrane in light-adapted retinas, which may indicate that actin and other microvillus core proteins remain linked to the avillar membrane to support rapid microvillus formation in the dark. Photopigment redistributions also occur in light- and dark-adapted retinas, and this study suggests that these changes must be coordinated with the simultaneous breakdown and reformation of the rhabdomere microvilli.
