Brain cellsImmunofluorescent Light Micrograph of astrocytes,with other neuroglial precursor cells,cultured in the laboratory. These cells constitutethe non- conducting special connective-tissue inthe brain. This tissue is known as neuroglia ("nerve glue"). Star-shaped astrocytes (lightgreen) perform a function of supplying nerve cellswith nutrients, and may store nerve information.Other cells here are busy forming into differenttypes of neuroglia nerve-support tissue. Cellnuclei stain blue. Immunofluorescence is astaining technique which uses antibodies to attachfluorescent dyes to specific tissues and tomolecules within the cell. Magnification: x200 at35mm, x375 at 6x4.5cm.
