Goldfish retinal bipolar cell

3-D projection of a single isolated goldfish retinal bipolar cell stained with SiR-tubulin. The color spectrum represents depth. Microtubules can be seen to extend from the tips of the dendrites (top) into the axon and down into the giant synaptic terminal (bottom). Courtesy of Justin W. Taraska, Laboratory of Cellular Biophysics, NIH, Bethesda.
