Neuron Model

Description

Magnified more than 2500 times and fully three-dimensional, a
neuron model is depicted in its natural setting. With the membranous
envelope cut away, the cytological ultrastructure,organelles and
inclusions within the cell body are depicted in contrasting colors. A
section of the axon lifts off to expose the enveloping myelin sheath
and neuro-lemma, as well as the Schwann cell that formed them.
Dendrites of the neuron extend into the background, and synaptic
vesicles carrying neurotransmitters can be seen via a cutaway view
