Nerve bundle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a freeze-fractured section through a bundle of myelinated nerve fibres. Myelin sheaths (pink) can be seen surrounding the axons (green). Perineurium (connective tissue, grey) surrounds the nerve bundle while endoneurium divides the individual fibres. Magnification: x1650 when printed 10 centimetres wide.
