Description

A Purkinje neuron from the cerebellum of an adult rat, injected with Lucifer Yellow. The elaborate, highly branched dendritic arbor is revealed in this maximum projection image which was generated by compiling a z-series of optical sections. This image has been downsampled from the raw data image which can be accessed using the link provided to the Cell Centered Database.

Technical Details

Image was acquired with a BioRad MRC 1024 Confocal using a 40X NA 1.3 oil immersion objective. A manual tracing of the complete dendritic arbor was done using Neurolucida 4.35c software, and can be viewed at the CCDB link provided.
