"Our images show 3d renderings of neurons and parts of neurons which were reconstructed from electron-microscopic images of a very large stack of slices of mouse somatosensory cortex. This rendering shows a bundle of several spiny dendrites running together vertically through cortex. The colors are all arbitrary since the EM images do not show color."
