Choroid. A, Histologic section of the choroid; the choriocapillaris is just below the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Beneath the capillaries of the choriocapillaris are the larger middle (Sattler) and outer (Haller) vascular layers. There are scattered melanocytes within the choroid. B, OCT image of the choroid (bounded by the RPE and the choroid–sclera junction [arrows]) depicts the choriocapillaris (CC), Sattler layer (SL), and Haller layer (HL).
