- Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)
- cell layer of the retina
The retina of the human eye is made up of several cell layers, including the so-called pigment epithelial cells, which contain many pigments and are therefore colored black. The main tasks of the RPE are the balancing modulation of light radiation, but it also has a great influence on the metabolism.
