This electron micrograph is a cross section through a portion of an axon and its associated myelin wrap from the cochlear nerve of the cat. This high magnification view showcases the regular periodic...

Image mosaic of a section through mouse cerebellum showing the distribution of alpha synuclein (green) in a transgenic mouse overexpressing alpha synuclein. The section was counterstained with a nucl...

Single image from a serial section electron microscopic reconstruction of the cell body of a cortical pyramidal neuron from a biopsy sample obtained from the cortex of a patient with Alzheimer's dise...

Light micrograph of a longitudinal section of the epididymis. The lining of the duct consists of pseudostratified epithelial cells, which have prominent microvilli on their free surface extending in...

Schwann cells in peripheral nerves secrete a layer similar to the basal lamina called the lamina externa, boundary layer, or basement membrane. In this micrograph, the lamina externa surrounds the Sc...

Confocal micrograph of an intact Drosophila larva imaged through the translucent cuticle showing the innervation of the dorsal (towards the back) muscle fibres by motor nerves. The muscles have been g...

Confocal image of axons (green) making contact with muscle fibers at neuromuscular junctions. As seen here more than one nerve fiber initially contacts each muscle fiber. As development proceeds, the ...
