Fig. 0.3. From Light Microscopy to Ultrastructure and Three-Dimensional Reconstructions: Shapes of neuroglial nuclei (astrocyte - Ag, oligodendrocyte - Og, microgliocyte - Mg) are compared in standard hematoxyline-eosin staining (HE), cresyl violet staining (Nissl) and toluidine blue stained epoxy resin semithin section (Semi). Oligodendrocyte with its sparse processes is shown in silver impregnation (Golgi). Part of oligodendrocyte cell body is shown on electron micrograph (EM) and appearance of its processes is shown on three-dimensional reconstruction (3D).
