Sample Description: The sample is from a wild-type, adult male mouse, strain C57/BL6J, obtained from Charles River. It underwent chemical fixation and reduced osmium processing, followed by treatment with 2% samarium trichloride and 1% uranyl acetate in maleate buffer, and was subsequently embedded in Durcupan resin. The sample was provided by and prepared for imaging by Richard Weinberg (University of North Carolina), with imaging conducted by C. Shan Xu (Yale) and Kenneth Hayworth (HHMI/Janelia). Post-processing was performed by Gleb Shtengel and Harald Hess (HHMI/Janelia).
