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...

"Brainbow" zebrafish. Neurons are labeled in multiple colors with "Brainbow" (Nature, 2007) fluorescence microscopy. Three fluorescent proteins (cyan, yellow, and red) are randomly taken up by vari...

High resolution montage of a sagittal section through the cerebellar cortex of an adult male rat (80g), triple-labeled to reveal nuclei (Hoescht stain, blue), neurofilaments (particularly concentrated...

The image shows a nucleus extracted from the brain of an old (29 month) rat and immuno-stained for tubulin (green)and nuclear pore complexes (red). DNA was stained with DAPI (blue). The intra-nuclear...

Transmission electron micrograph of nerve terminals from a rat tongue. Note that this very early (1953) micrograph is primarily of historical interest since it pre-dates glutaraldehye fixation which...
