## Abstract Melanosomes synthesized by embryonic chick retinal pigment cells in vitro are of a different size and shape than those made in ovo and in vivo. Ultrastructurally, the melanosomes made by cultured cells are small, spherical, contain an irregular internal matrix, and appear similar to the
3H-befunolol was administered intravenously to pigmented rabbits. Thirty minutes after the administration, the iris, ciliary body and retina were fixed, embedded and processed for light microscopic radioautography. Radioautographical silver grains were observed over the pigment granules of the iris,
