Synapse Web
A portal into the 3D ultrastructure of the brain providing: Anatomy of astrocytes, axons, dendrites, hippocampus, organelles, synapses; procedures of 3D reconstruction and tissue preparation; as well as an atlas of ultrastructural neurocytology (by Josef Spacek), online aligned images, and reconstructed dendrites. Synapse Web hosts an ultrastructural atlas containing more than 500 electron micrographs (added to regularly) that identify unique ultrastructural and cellular components throughout the brain. Additionally, Synapse Web has raw images, reconstructions, and quantitative data along with tutorial instructions and numerous tools for investigating the functional structure of objects that have been serial thin sectioned for electron microscopy.
