B. Thick layer of basal laminar deposit is located between the plasma (PM) and basal lamina (arrowhead) of the RPE and consists of membrano-granular material (circle) and foci of wide-spaced collagen (arrows). Splitting (asterisk) has occurred in this new, thick layer. Brackets mark the elastic tissue layer of Bruch's membrane. (x50,000).
