The analysis of cell morphology is a crucial aspect of neurobiology, since the relationship between form and function can define the physiological processes in health and disease. One of the main methods to evaluate cell morphology is through photooxidation of intracellular fluorescent markers, among which is the perchlorate of 1,1 '-dioctadecyl-3, 3,3', 3'-tetramethyl-indocarbocianina (DiI) a lipophilic carbocyanine that can make living or fixed cells. The DiI was chosen for this work because, among other factors, it is used for important studies of cell morphology. As a model for evaluating the quality of photooxidation of the apparatus constructed for this purpose, horizontal cells of human retina were elected in order to proceed with morphometric study these cells further, in view of the lack of studies with this approach in human retina. This study evaluated the quality of the DiI method photooxidation via LED and used the horizontal cells of the human retina as a model. The material was obtained from the Eye Bank of Ophir Loyola Hospital and sequence dissected, labeled with DiI crystals and photooxided with the LED device. The images resulting from the new method of lighting fluorescent tracer showed photooxidation of high-quality detailed neuronal morphology, similar to the results obtained in reactions of convencional photoconversion with a microscope, which indicates that the device maintains the efficiency of the photooxidation for revealing fine details of cellular morphology, including the advantages of larger areas of tissue processing and a considerable cost reduction for the use of microscopy dispensed into the process.
