Italian scientists have published the most detailed pictures of nerve endings

What you see on anonsnoy photos - not the creation of another artist asbtraktsionista that appears own associative imagination on the canvas. This - Photo nerve endings normal mice obtained by the use of special tehologii.

In the picture you can see the hair follicle receptors, individual nerve endings. Upon receipt of images used technology SNAP-tagging. This technology for over a decade, but Italian scientists have used it with a new protein derivatives which pass through the tissue, and can be photographed.

Earlier images of this class could not get because skin samples, although there are not easy to get, not very well give fluorescence microscopy. The fact that an attempt to photograph something tissue structures using a blue light fabrics begin to fluoresce, and consider anything. In the skin samples is very difficult to enter the conventional antibodies and SNAP-tag.

Now scientists have bypassed the problem by using a special protein derivatives which pass through the various tissues of the body, and make these areas very apparent on a dark background with fluorescence microscopy. The scientist is going to improve your technique and try to remove the individual neurons of the brain or spinal cord at the time of their work.
