Kevin MacKenzie (2011) CIL:39058, neuron of the dorsal spinal cord. CIL. Dataset

This confocal micrograph shows a dorsal root ganglion (DRG) explant. The dorsal root ganglion is a swelling on the dorsal roots of spinal nerves, which contains a cluster of cell bodies and synapses. In vertebrates the dorsal root ganglia lie outside the central nervous system. The DRG shown here has been visualized by staining with TRITC-phalloidin to highlight actin (red) and neurofilaments (green).

本共聚焦显微镜图像展示了脊神经背根神经节（DRG）的切片。脊神经背根神经节位于脊髓神经背根上的一种膨胀结构，其中包含一组细胞体和突触。在脊椎动物中，背根神经节位于中枢神经系统之外。本例中的DRG通过TRITC-鬼笔毒蛋白染色以突出显示肌动蛋白（红色）和神经丝（绿色）进行了可视化。
