3D reconstruction of a nerve-muscle synapse (mouse sternomastoid muscle) for use in MCell simulations. Nerve membrane (translucent gray) overlies the tortuously folded muscle membrane (blue). Cut edges are red.

Model by J. Stiles and T. Bartol, with assistance from P. Davidson. DReAMM visualization by J. Stiles. Serial electron micrographic sections for the reconstruction were cut by T. Deerinck in the laboratory of M. Ellisman.
