From: Three dimensional electron microscopy reveals changing axonal and myelin morphology along normal and partially injured optic nerves

Figure 2

Morphological measurements made along the length of 10 randomly selected axons from optic nerve of a normal animal. Each column of graphs represents an individual reconstructed axon, showing measurements of (a) cross-sectional area, (b) axon diameter, (c) myelin thickness, (d) fiber diameter (e), G ratio, and (f) percentage myelin decompaction made from 2D images at 5 µm intervals along the length of that axon. Changes in the recorded outcomes are apparent along the length of individual axons. The grey lines represent the position of a node within the axon; in some axon segments the node is situated between data values. The red # represents the minimum and maximum axon diameter in segmented axon 1.
