Cytomorphological and Cytochemical Identification of Microglia

Figure 4

Comparative morphology of activated amoeboid microglia to resting quiescent ramified microglia was taken from acute inflamed brain to resting brain tissue. Different shape of amoeboid microglia, which is embracing neuron immunostained with Iba1 and counter stained with haematoxylin (a)–(e) (1000x); (f); quiescent resting Microglia in a nonpathological brain of 4-week-old mice. (Data taken from Das Sarma laboratory; unpublished data).
