Structural characteristics of copper electrodeposition in a laboratory-scale copper electrorefining cell, studied by confocal scanning beam laser microscopy (CSBLM), are presented. Quantitative description of the roughness of the surface is provided by three-dimensional reconstructed images, and sec

โฆ Synopsis
Confocal laser scanning microscopy has been used to study the localization of myelin basic proteins expressed in nonglial cells, and to probe the three-dimensional structure of central auditory neurons in the lateral superior olive. The paper focuses on the techniques used to obtain the results. The key roles of confocal microscopy and computer image processing of the images obtained are emphasized as they relate to the discovery of essential structural information about these specimens.

## Abstract Our knowledge of the genetic mechanisms controlling cell proliferation and differentiation usually originates from in vitro cultured cell line models. However, the definition of the molecular switches involved in control of homeostasis and the understanding of the changes occurring in n
The processing of odorant signals is performed, in the olfactory bulb of vertebrates or in the antennal lobe of insects, by different types of neurons which display specific morphological and functional features. The present work characterizes the morphogenesis of the main neuronal types which parti
Transfer of methods between physics and biophysics based on a formal similarity between nuclear data and random nerve spikes, is shown.

This study uses confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to assess the microstructure of collagen sponges providing an accurate quantification of porosity under conditions similar to those experienced by cells growing on the sponges during culture. CLSM offers several advantages over scanning elect
