(“L2” stands for “Lecture 2” etc.)

Start at about 5' 00“ for image formation in cameras.

http://archive.org/details/HowtheEy1941

START VIDEO at about 4' 30” to get good convergence of rays on fovea part.

END about 7' 00“, where convergence section begins (although that's great, too).

PUPIL opening and closing animation: about 10' 00”.

1' 15“ Illustration (of a Chevy car) showing that image on retina is upside down, but brain perceives it upright.

LENS: about 5' 20” start.

About 5' 35“, lens cut out with scissors!

Title shown at beginning of film (about 0' 15”):

“A CAMERA GOES TO COLLEGE”

It's wearing a mortarboard.

Section on horizontal cells and lateral inhibition:

Fig. 9 of this section illustrates horizontal cell dendrites and axons.

Fig. 17 illustrates the tight coupling among a cone and the dendrites of the bipolar and horizontal cells with which it forms synapses.

Another section with nice diagrams illustrating the spatial arrangement of photoreceptors that belong to the same retinal ganglion cell center-surround receptive field:
