Above is a photo of a sagittal section of rat's brain. It was taken with a Nikon Eclipse 80i microscope. The photo was first taken in a grayscale filter with a digital camera, and then pseudo-colored, giving it it's vibrant and interesting colors. After looking at this photo and reading it's description, I wondered what a "sagittal section of a rat's brain" even was, as well as why we needed a picture of it. After some research i was able to find that "sagittal" relates to a section at the top of a brain/skull. I also found that many of the things we know about the human brain originated with research on rats' brains. This is why it is so important that these pictures are taken.
I had no idea what we know about the brain originated from rats' brains. That's wild. The colors in the photo are very vibrant. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool picture I would have never guessed it was a rat's brain. The colors are so pretty. I am interested in knowing what the colors mean.
