Fluorescence image of bodies and axons of the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus in a 4 day old chick embryo. The trigeminal nucleus is made up of scattered neurons along the midline of the optic tectum...

This confocal micrograph shows a dorsal root ganglion (DRG) explant. The dorsal root ganglion is a swelling on the dorsal roots of spinal nerves, which contains a cluster of cell bodies and synapses. ...

Sensory axons (long, slender nerve fibers) covering the tail of a 3- day-old larval zebrafish. This "Brainbow" image was collected using confocal microscopy. In the Brainbow technique (Nature, 2007), ...

Platinum replica illustrating the cytoskeletal organization of dendritic spines from extracted 14 DIV neurons. Thin spines associate with dendrites at the base (bottom) and with axons by the head (top...

Electron micrograph of a nerve from the mesentery of a rat shows groups of unmyelinated axons wrapped by deeply invaginating Schwann cells in cross section. Surrounding the Schwann cell wrapping is a ...

A single image from animation of the computed slices through a tomographic volume of mitochondria at the Node of Ranvier in rat peripheral nerve root. This image has been downsampled from the raw dat...

The inner segment of photoreceptors in the retina is packed with long, thin mitochondria that contain curved cristae. This image by Toichiro Kuwabara is of a photoreceptor from human retina, and appe...

Single tilt image (zero degree tilt) of a mitochondrion from a retinal rod photoreceptor of a female mouse (C57BL/6) from a 0.3 um section. This image has been downsampled from the raw data image whic...

Platinum replica depicting the cytoskeletal organization of dendritic spines in extracted 14 DIV neurons. Mushroom spines associate with dendrites at the base (bottom) and with axons by the head (top)...

Platinum replica depicting the cytoskeletal organization of dendritic spines in extracted 14 DIV neurons. This image shows the interaction of putative PSD from the spine head with axonal intermediate ...
