Description

Widefield fluorescence microscopy and deconvolution image of a dorsal root ganglion neurone from an adult mouse. These neurones (red; beta-3 tubulin) are part of the peripheral nervous system and are responsible for transmitting sensory information such as pain, cold and heat to the brain. They release neurotransmitters transported in vesicles (green; VAMP2) to communicate. The cell nucleus (blue; DAPI) is also visible here. Width of image is 733 micrometres.
