Fig. 6.

Confocal images in the horizontal plane of DiI-treated free nerve ending terminals within individual star-nosed mole Eimer’s organs. (A) The central fiber and satellite fibers all labeled with a broad application of DiI crystals. (B) Labeling of the satellite fibers only. (C) Only the central fiber in this Eimer’s organ is labeled. (D) DiI label in only three satellite fibers. (E) A single Eimer’s organ showing the outer ring of peripheral fibers labeled with DiI. There is no label visible in the central and satellite fibers that are denoted by the dashed circle. (Scale bars: 5 μm.)
