Reconstruction
Display image description
Tomographic reconstruction of a spiny dendrite from mouse hippocampus stained by double impregnation with copper and lead salts and imaged using most probable loss energy filtering (see Bouwer et al., 2004). This staining technique also fills membrane bound organelles such as synaptic vesicles with electron dense reaction product.
