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...

Human spinal cord neurosphere (a culture system composed of free-floating clusters of neural stem cells) captured with widefield Illumination and deconvolution. Honorable Mention, 2005 Olympus BioScap...

Transmission electron micrographs of serial sections of nerve cells illustration a dendrite. Note that this very early (1954) micrograph is primarily of historical interest since it pre-dates glutara...

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...
