Confocal micrograph of the anterior region of the developing zebrafish brain (consisting of the telencephalon, part of diencephalon and the optic tectum). Some of the neurons (shown in green) express ...

Copper Lead Specimens

A colorized scanning electron microscope picture of a nerve ending that has been broken open to reveal the synaptic vesicles (orange and blue) beneath the cell membrane.

This study of the zebrafish eye is a series of four images taken at increasing magnifications. The first image is the SEM block face of the zebrafish eye. This is followed by a second image that is ...

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...

Confocal micrograph of the brain of a transgenic zebrafish embryo. Some neurons express the green fluorescent protein (GFP) - shown in green under the control of a specific promotor. Tracts, axons and...
