Confocal microscopy

Depth coded projection (colour) image of mouse hippocampus sections of thy1-GFP line. Stained with GFP and imaged with ZEISS ELYRA PS.1 with LSM 780 confocal option. Tiling & stitching with ZEN software generates hi-res confocal maps, make sure to download in full resolution and zoom in.

Purkinje cells (immuno fuorescence, blue), olivary axons (anterograde tracing, yellow) and synaptic terminals (immunofluorescence, red) are shown, revealing the highly specific organization of neuronal connexions in the mouse cerebellum."
