Electron micrograph of a nerve from the mesentery of a rat shows groups of unmyelinated axons wrapped by deeply invaginating Schwann cells in cross section. Surrounding the Schwann cell wrapping is a ...

This electron micrograph shows a cross section through an axon, its myelin wrap, and the associated myelin-producing Schwann cell from the the cochlear nerve of the cat. The external mesaxon is the l...

Electron micrograph of an unmyelinated nerve Schwann cell from a rat tongue. Image made available by James D. Jamieson and the Department of Cell Biology, Yale University School of Medicine.

Figure 393 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Longitudinal section of frog neuromuscular junction, prepared by rapid freezing with liquid helium fo...

Schwann cells in peripheral nerves secrete a layer similar to the basal lamina called the lamina externa, boundary layer, or basement membrane. In this micrograph, the lamina externa surrounds the Sc...

This electron micrograph is a cross section through a portion of an axon and its associated myelin wrap from the cochlear nerve of the cat. This high magnification view showcases the regular periodic...

Transmission electron micrograph of non-myelinating nerve Schwann cell surrounding nerve fibers from a rat atrium. Image made available by James D. Jamieson and the Department of Cell Biology, Yale U...

Confocal micrograph showing nerve cells growing along fibers (purple) made from a specially modified silk that is similar to that made by spiders and silkworms. Schwann cells, whose nuclei are shown i...

This ghoulish-looking Schwann cell was present in a primary culture of the dorsal root ganglion of mouse that was transfected with a mutant peripherin transgene. The intermediate filament network (vi...
