Structure of the elastin network in arterial elastic laminae. En face images of elastin in a wild-type mouse ascending aorta obtained using nonlinear fluorescence microscopy are shown (166). A dense, fenestrated (arrows) elastin network can be observed in elastic laminae near the inner media (left). The network appears more fibrous toward the outer media (right). Circumferential direction is horizontal; axial direction is vertical. Scale bars = 20 μm.
