Figure 2From: The role of the cytoskeleton in cell body enlargement, increased nuclear eccentricity and chromatolysis in axotomized spinal motor neuronsLight microscopic appearance of extracted and unextracted spinal motor neurons. Differential interference contrast images of lumbar motor neuron cell bodies isolated from normal adult frogs. Panel a shows an unextracted cell body. Panel b shows a different cell body isolated from normal adult frogs and extracted by a modification of the procedure of He et al. [12]. Each bar = 20 μm.Back to article page
