Fig. 4. 3D reconstruction of cells labeled by calbindin-specific and GFAP-specific scFv probes.

Fig. 4

a 2D CLEM image showing the fluorescence signal (green) of the calbindin-specific scFv probe overlapping with the cell body of a Purkinje cell. b EM image showing 2D segmentation (green) of the calbindin-positive Purkinje cell (n = 1). c 3D reconstruction of the Purkinje cell labeled in a (n = 1), with the cell body in dark green and a dendritic branch in light green; three parallel fibers (red) make synapses on three spine heads of the dendritic branch (arrow indicates a parallel fiber (PF); arrowhead indicates a synapse). d EM image showing 2D segmentation of the synapse (arrowhead) between a parallel fiber (red) and a spine head of the dendritic branch (green) (n = 1). e 2D CLEM image showing fluorescence signals (red) of the GFAP-specific scFv probe overlapping with the cell body of a velate astrocyte in the granule cell layer (n = 1). f EM image showing 2D segmentation (red) of the velate astrocyte in (e) (n = 1). g 3D reconstruction of the velate astrocyte (red) labeled in (e) and two nearby granule cells (GC1 and GC2, light and dark blue) (n = 2); the astrocyte extends a veil-like glial process (arrowhead) between the two granule cells. h EM image showing 2D segmentation of the glial process (arrowhead) between GC1 and GC2 (n = 1). i 2D CLEM image showing fluorescence signals (red) of the GFAP-specific scFv probe overlapping with a Bergmann fiber (n = 1). j EM image showing 2D segmentation (red) of the Bergmann fiber in (i) (n = 1). k 3D reconstruction of two Bergmann glial cells (BG1 and BG2) (n = 2) traced from their Bergmann fibers labeled by the GFAP-specific scFv probe. l EM image showing 2D segmentation of the cell body of BG2 (n = 1) and a nearby basket cell (n = 1), noting the lack of infoldings in BG2’s nuclear membrane compared to the basket cell. n indicates an example.
