Comparison of 3D coronal tomography and thick tissue slices of vascular microstructure. (a) 3D rendered image of vascular trees in detail by synchrotron radiation imaging. (b) Ink injection thick tissue horizontal slices (Scremin, 2015). astr: anterior striate arteries; ach: anterior choroidal artery; ChP: choroid plexus; cop: penetrating cortical arteries; CPu: caudate putamen; DLG: dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus; Ent: Entorhinal cortex; Prh: perirhinal cortex; pcer: posterior cerebral arteries; plch: posterior lateral choroidal artery; pstr: posterior striate arteries; Oc: occipital cortex; SC: superior colliculus; scop: subcortical penetrating arteries; trhi: transverse hippocampal arteries. (c) 3D morphology of vascular microstructure by synchrotron radiation imaging. (d) Ink injected thick tissue coronal slice (Scremin, 2015). PAG: periaqueductal gray; pcom: posterior communicating artery; SN: substantia nigra; thp: thalamo-perforating arteries; tep: terminal branches of the azygos pericallosal artery. Scale bar = 1500 µm.
