midget ganglion cell of retina
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CL_4023188
A retinal ganglion cell that originate in the ganglion cell layer of the retina, and project to the parvocellular layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). These cells are known as midget retinal ganglion cells due to the small sizes of their dendritic trees and cell bodies.

Term info
There are midget bipolar cells of retina and midget ganglion cells of retina and they are not the same: Midget bipolar cells (imb, fmb) have larger axon terminals at greater distances from the fovea (retinal eccentricity of 4.5mm as compared to 12 mm). Midget ganglion cells (MGC) have larger dendritic fields (here seen at 8 mm) as they increase in eccentricity.
