Figure 6

The pore-containing OSN in a wide layer of actin microfilaments in the olfactory knob after the neuron has attached itself to the OE surface, in C. inermis. Staining for F-actin (FITC phalloidin, green) and for nuclei (DAPI, blue); laser confocal microscopy. (a) The OSN is attached to the OE surface between supporting cells; the insert shows an enlarged fragment of the actin case of the dendritic terminal with a pore (marked by an arrow); (3D reconstruction); (b) the surface and orthogonal projections (b1 and b2) of the OSN with a pore; (c) a 3D reconstruction (surface mode) of the OSN with a pore. Notation: 1 – Dendrites of OSN that contact the surface of the olfactory epithelium; 2 – Profile of the apical section of a mature OSN; 3 – Profile of the apical section of the SC. The blue arrows show the direction to the surface of the olfactory epithelium.
