Figure 3

3D morphology and localization of Corpora amylacea in hippocampus of non-demented aged donor C, as visualized by SBF-SEM. (a) 3D surface reconstruction of the SBF-SEM data stack showing CA (purple surfaces) and a blood vessel (red surface). (b–d) 2D orthoslices of SBF-SEM data from CA found in (a). The slice axes are indicated by blue and green lines and were set at one of the CA. (b) XY orthoslice, (c) XZ orthoslice and (d) YZ orthoslice. (e) The whole reconstructed 3D volume. Red arrowheads = blood vessels (including basal lamina), purple arrowheads = CA and green arrowheads = astroglial feet forming the neurovascular unit of the vascular system of the brain. Scale bars = 10 µm.
