Dilated arteriole. 3D fluorescence deconvolution micrograph of a section through a dilated arteriole blood vessel from the olfactory (smell) bulb of the brain. Endothelial nitric oxide, a powerful vasodilator (blood vessel dilator), is red. Increasing the diameter of the arteriole increases the blood flow to the olfactory bulb.
