Single computed slice through a tomographic reconstruction of a Node of Ranvier from rat peripheral nerve, prepared by a combination of chemical fixation, high pressure freezing and freeze substitutio...

This ghoulish-looking Schwann cell was present in a primary culture of the dorsal root ganglion of mouse that was transfected with a mutant peripherin transgene. The intermediate filament network (vi...

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...

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...
