Sanford Palay (2012) CIL:37228, neuron. CIL. Dataset

Transmission electron micrograph of a nerve cell synapsing on a dendrite. The synapse contains many synaptic vesicles and a cluster of mitochondria.
Note that this very early (1953) micrograph is primarily of historical interest since it pre-dates glutaraldehye fixation which was introduced in the early 60's and is considered essential for adequate nerve tissue preservation. Examples of nerve tissue micrographs prepared in 1965 are CIL:37218, CIL:37219 and CIL:37220.

神经细胞与树突发生突触联系的透射电子显微镜图像。该突触内含有众多突触小泡和一群线粒体。需注意的是，这张拍摄于1953年的早期显微照片主要具有历史价值，因为它在60年代初引入的戊二醛固定法之前拍摄，而戊二醛固定法被认为是神经组织保存的必要条件。1965年制备的神经组织显微照片的示例包括CIL:37218、CIL:37219和CIL:37220。该图像由James D. Jamieson及其所在耶鲁大学医学院细胞生物学系提供。
