Jean Livet, 2007 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition (2012) CIL:40984, Mus musculus, neuron. CIL. Dataset

Montage image of a brain stem from a Brainbow transgenic mouse. In Brainbow mice, neurons randomly choose combinations of red, yellow and cyan fluorescent proteins, so that they each glow a particular color. This provides a way to distinguish neighboring neurons and visualize brain circuits. These are large caliber axons of the auditory pathway. First Prize, 2007 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition.

一幅由 Brainbow 转基因小鼠脑干拼接而成的图像。在 Brainbow 小鼠中，神经元随机选择红、黄和青蓝色荧光蛋白的组合，使其各自发出特定的颜色。这为区分邻近神经元和可视化脑回路提供了一种方法。这些是听觉通路的大型轴突。荣获 2007 年 Olympus BioScapes 数字成像竞赛一等奖。
