Serial electron micrograph series through layers 1-4 of the primary visual cortex of the adult mouse. Reconstruction encompasses 450 X 350 X 52 um volume of tissue and contains ~ 1500 cell bodies. This same area of tissue was functionally characterized for orientation and direction selectivity using two photon calcium imaging. The reconstruction is also available at:

The animal was perfused transcardially (2% paraformaldehyde/2.5% glutaraldehyde). Seven 300 um thick coronal vibratome sections were cut. The vibratome sections were post-fixed and stained with 1% osmium tetroxide/1.5% potassium ferrocyanide followed by 1% uranyl acetate, dehydrated with a graded ethanol series, and embedded in resin (TAAB 812 Epon, Canemco). Serial thin (<50 nm) sections were cut on a Leica U6 ultramicrotome, picked up on pioloform-coated slot grids, and then post-stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. Serial sections were imaged with a JEOL 1200EX, magnification, 2000.0 X, accelerating voltage, 120.0 kv, and compiled into a composite image.
