3D visualisation of whole-mount LAMA4-immunolabelled rat Achilles tendon. 3D reconstructions of a rat Achilles tendon showing nuclear (blue; a,d,h) and LAMA4 (red; b,e,i) labelling, and with each channel overlaid to create a composite image (c,f,j). Transverse (xz) views of the 3D reconstructions (d-f) and tendon core with LAMA4-labelled IFM (h-j; magnification of white box) demonstrate signal present throughout the depth of the tissue. Longitudinal views (a-c) show an extensive network of LAMA4 positive labelling on the tendon surface
