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...

Higher resolution tomogram of paranodal area, particularly septate junction

Confocal micrograph of teased sciatic nerve fibers. The fibers are triple labelled for neurofilament (blue), S100 (red) and dystrophin-related protein (DRP2) (green). The S100 protein is expressed in...

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...
