• Blood Vessel

The data set is a segment of an isolated mesenteric artery. This blood vessel supplies a region of the gut wall and has been pressure fixed at 70mmHg so that the normal shape is conserved.  The fixed artery was then scanned on a laser scanning confocal microscope.  One channel of data has the cell nuclei (red) the other is a mix of autofluorescence and alpha1-adrenoceptors stained with BODIPY FL-prazosin (green).  The holes in the internal elastic lamina (inner surface) are particularly nice in this dataset.   The outer adventitial surface has a sympathetic nerve running along the length of the vessel.– From Dr. Craig J Daly, School of Life Sciences, University of Glasgow.
