Transmission electron micrograph of rat neuronal dendrite. Note that this very early (1954) micrograph is primarily of historical interest since it pre-dates glutaraldehye fixation which was introd...

Confocal micrograph of the head region of a transgenic zebrafish embryo. The large circular structure is the eye, showing the structure of the retina. Some neurons in the brain are highlighted in gre...

Fluorescence microscope image of a cryostat section of mouse tongue epithelium immuno-stained for all taste bud cells (red) type II taste bud cells (green)and counter-stained for DNA (blue). The imag...

Figures 323 & 324 from Chapter 13 (Cilia and Flagella) of 'The Cell' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. The outer segments of the rods and cones of the vertebrate retina and many photoreceptors of invertebrates b...

We examined the structural organization of cytoskeletal components and membrane systems in neurons of well preserved biopsy material from Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Information was obtained from thin...

Figure 291 from Chapter 10 (Lipochrome Pigment) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Brown cytoplasmic inclusions identified as lipofuscin, or lipochrome pigment increase in number in aging ...

Transmission electron micrograph of nerve cell terminals on medulla dendrites. The body of the dendrite (lower part of image) contains aligned microtubules (neurotubule). Synapses are seem on the den...

Transmission electron micrograph of a nerve cell synapsing on a dendrite. The synapse contains many synaptic vesicles and a cluster of mitochondria. Note that this very early (1953) micrograph is pr...

Widefield multiphoton fluorescence image of Rat hippocampus stained to reveal the distribution of glia (cyan), neurofilaments (green) and cell nuclei (yellow). 2nd Prize, 2010 Olympus BioScapes Digit...

Confocal image of an axonal rainbow of oculomotor nerve motor axons from a "Brainbow" mouse brain, with each neuron expressing a distinct color. In Brainbow mice, neurons randomly choose combination...
