Confirming tissue integrity

Caption

The integrity of the tissues was assessed using traditional volume EM techniques after X-ray ptychography. The first panel shows tissue imaged using volume EM after X-ray ptychography (second panel), confirming its ultrastructure remained intact. The method provides enough resolution to resolve a neuron (blue) receiving contacts from other neurons (transparent), alongside their mitochondria (green) and vesicle clusters (magenta).
