950 μm In Vivo 3D BBB Map. a) “Visible” surface vessels (blue), “Invisible” intra-cortical small capillaries (green), “Invisible” major arteries and veins (red/yellow). b) Side view 3D reconstruction of BBB (white) and “Invisible” major arteries and veins (red). Arteries (A) have fewer capillaries around than veins (V), since the blood oxygenation level is generally high enough that it does not need capillaries to perfuse nearby tissue. Scale = 100 μm.
