A. Cell before injury and a magnification of the axon shown in an inset. B. After laser exposure there was swelling of the distal axon adjacent to the injury site. C. 20 min after exposure an approximately 1 m separation became apparent between the ends of the axon proximal and distal to the injury site. D. The loss of membrane integrity was evidenced by bubbles and distal axon fragmentation. Scale bars: 10 m. (See Supplemental Video S1 for the full series).
