“Beam me up, Scotty!”

This artwork is derived from an immunocytochemistry image showing two neuronal components: the cytoskeleton and synaptic densities. The former is stained with an antibody for MAP2 and the latter with an Elfn1 antibody. These labeled components were then merged to create a blue composite image.
