Description
Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a central nervous system (CNS) neuropil. Two dendrites (green) show microtubules, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and some ribosomes (only present in dendrites). Two axons (brown) filled with synaptic vesicles make synapses on these dendrites. Sheets of astrocytic processes (blue) surround and isolate these synapses. At top is a myelinated fibre (red).
