Figure 4. Cross-section of the continuous neuromast. from A hydrodynamic antenna: novel lateral line system in the tail of myliobatid stingrays

A–C) Neuromast cross-sections stained with hematoxylin-Eosin and Orange G showing the position of the cellular nucleus. Note the basal orientation of the hair cell nucleus, located at the base of the neuromast. D–E) Confocal images obtained using DAPI staining and autofluorescence excited at 405nm. Note the difference in the position and size of the nucleus of different cells.
