Sometimes you see strange things and patterns when looking at the ultrastructure of the retina. What appears to be an octopus with an eye and tentacles is various processes from retinal neurons bunched together.

So Cthulhu does exist!! Now we have scientific proof that they are real :=O
Jokes apart, the ultrastructure is impressive and the arrangement of microtubules is really cool!! Is that a dendrite of a ganglion cell that is projecting upwards? Please correct me if I’m wrong. I can see a synapse of the right ‘tentacle’ and it is a conventional synapse, hence I’m assuming it’s a dendrite of a ganglion cell and the synapse is made by an amacrine cell?
Good spots, all.
