CIL:39951^*

Description

A portion of dendrite and associated spines from a Purkinje neuron of the rat cerebellum. This image is a maximum intensity projection through a computationally deblurred transmitted light series of optical sections. The through focus series was taken from a 2 um section prepared for electron microscopy.

Technical Details

Specimen was imaged using a BioRad MRC 1024 Confocal, using a 63X NA 1.4 objective and 488 laser line.
