Double exposure using combined blue and ultraviolet epi-fluorescent illumination of the superficial layers of the cingulated rat cortex exposed to kainic acid. Layer I contains conspicuous Fluoro-Jade C positive degenerating axon terminals. Layer II contains densely packed DAPI-positive viable granule cells. Layer III contains a mixture of Fluoro-Jade C positive denegerating pyramidal cells and DAPI-positive viable pyramidal cells. Photo is courtesy of Dr. Larry Schmued.
