Description
Nerve cell. Immunofluorescent light micrograph of a nerve cell (neurone). Nerve cells are responsible for relaying and processing signals in the nervous system. Signals arrive at a neurone through the long, branching fibres (dendrites) seen here radiating from the main body. Immunofluorescence is a technique in which antibodies are used to attach fluorescent dyes to specific tissues. Magnification unknown.
