Fig. 2

a Graphical representation of the SIM super-resolution microscope. 3D-SIM image of a GFP-labeled astrocyte in a TBS-slice from control mice. Scale bar: 10 µm. Magnification of a ROI shows BDNFpro/GFP colocalization signal localized in fine membrane extensions of the cell periphery. Scale bar: 200 nm. b 3D-SIM image of the ROI in (a); z-axe is visualized in pseudocolor to facilitate microdomains identification. Scale bar: 200 nm. Magnification of microdomains characterized by the typical fingerlike extension (dashed squares 1 and 2) and flat lamellar sheath (dashed squares 3 and 4) are shown. BDNFpro/GFP colocalization is indicated (red arrowheads). Scale bars: 40 nm.
