Astrocyte brain cells. Fluorescence light micrograph of astrocyte cells in the brain of a human foetus. Astrocytes have numerous branches of connective tissue that provide support and nutrition to the neurons (nerve cells) of the brain. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is green; cell nuclei are lilac. Magnification: x40 when printed 10 centimetres wide.
