Neurons from rat brain tissue stained green to highlight the cell body strongly and the cell processes weakly. Astrocytes are stained red in for cytoplasmic filaments. Nuclei of all cell types are stained blue with a DNA binding dye.

Optical microscope image of neurons (Purkinje cells) located in the cerebellum of a dog. Note the nucleous in the middle of the cells and observe the tentacle- like dendrites extending out of the pear shaped cell bodies. The cell bodies are attached to the granular layer of the cerebellum (right), while the dentrites are located in the molecular layer area (left).
