Here we show that the Olympus SZX stereo and upright BX microscopes, both with fluorescence illumination capabilities, are perfect for use in these situations. For decades the chicken embryo has ...

These frozen mouse axons were made of rotund blobs connected by thin tubes, electron microscope images revealed. The researchers did the experiments with a type of axon that isn’t wrapped in ...

Reactions to the study were split. Some scientist welcomed the findings. Over the last 70 years, scientists have extensively studied axon shape and recognized its complex structure. With improving ...

“The reason people have missed this axon morphology before, and that we were able to observe this, is because we are looking at cryo-preserved tissues under an electron microscope,” Watanabe said.
