Figure 4. — 3-D reconstruction of the proximal 270 µm of the 2,900-slice dataset. (a) Vessels (red) and trabecula surface (cyan). Note the absence of vessels in the outer annulus. (b) The blood vessel network shown in longitudinal aspect. (c) A segment of the vessel network. White arrows show anastomoses between a capillary and the large central vessel (bottom arrow), and between two capillaries (top arrow). Green arrows indicate the splitting and subsequent reconvergence of a capillary (also shown in b).
