Oligodendrocytes
This image compares interfascicular oligodendrocytes as revealed by conventional H & E staining (left) with those immunostained for an oligodendrocyte-specific protein (right). This fluorescent image shows oligodendrocyte cell bodies, their cytoplasm and cell processes, each of which contacts an axon and produces a single internode of myelin.
