Fluorescence microscopic image (100X magnification) of cells in the hilar region of the hippocampal dentate gyrus (adult rat). Neurons are labeled by immunocytochemical techniques for neuron specific nuclear protein (NeuN) and a red emitting fluorochrome dye. New generated glial cells and neurons are labeled for bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), a mutagen given to incorporate into DNA in place of thymine and a green emitting dye. Note that new glial cells are singly labeled by BrdU and appear green, whereas, newly generated neurons are double labeled by both NeuN and BrdU and appear yellow.

Fluorescence micrograph cross-section of a gelatin sheet embedded in epoxy, excited with blue light. The herring-bone appearance is due to the interior porosity present in the sheet as confirmed by SEM.
