Nerve cell images

There are many ways of looking at cells and capturing what they look like. We’ve chosen six images of nerve cells to show how some of the cells found in your eyes and brain can be visualised with different techniques.

The different images include scanning electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, phase contrast light microscopy and colour-enhanced light micrographs.
