The large dark stained cells are neurons. The smaller lighter stained cells are neuroglia.
A single neuron. A = axon.
A single neuron using a different staining technique. B = boutons (axon terminals) making synapses with the neuron soma.
Nervous tissue. Purple bodies are the nuclei of supporting cells (neuroglia).
Purkinje cell (a type of neuron) of the cerebral cortex. D = dendrites, A = axon
A close of axons laid side by side. Schwann cells surround the axons to create insulation; this aids saltatory conduction. R = node of Ranvier
