The Photoshop images (.psd) are quite large (~100mB) and you may need to download them to your computer before opening them in Photoshop. The JPEG images are smaller and more manageable but are at much lower resolution.

The images below are from serial frontal (coronal) sections of a rhesus monkey thalamus, cut at 30microns. Each group of 5 sections was stained with thionin (nissl), histochemically for cytochrome oxidase (CO), or immunocytochemically for 28kDa calbindin (calb), 29kDa calretinin (calret) or parvalbumin (parv). The sections stained for each marker are in posterior (1) to anterior (12) order and are ~300 microns apart. They were scanned at 1200 d.p.i. and are as they appear on the slides, complete with imperfections. Numbers match across all 5 series. Nuclei are labeled on the CO stained sections. Matched sections can be superimposed using the sectioned profiles of blood vessels as guides. Viewers are invited to identify "VMpo".
