The cross-section of a mouse optic nerve (Case ID 012197F) imaged at low magnification using an electron microscope. The small squares to the right of the image are 1x1 millimeters.
Click on the highlighted spots in red to view a higher magnification. (The next magnifications are about 200 kilobytes and 475x607 pixels.)

This is a set of 22 micrographs taken from a 76-day-old female DBA/2J. The sample area was 30.90 microns², with a high magnification of 13,015x and low magnification of 192x. There are an estimated 56784 ± 4538 axons in this optic nerve in an area of 86,937 microns².

The histogram and basic statistics of acquired data from the measurements of the axons, as well as the calibrations of the micrograph set are available.
