Description This one is only one which wasn't prepared by me from very beginning. I got this sample at university practice which I attended with desire to correct my possible bad habits and catch few trick from profi histologist. Tissue was already prepared in paraffin block, so I done only fancy job there - slicing on rotary microtome, staining and mounting to Canadian balsam. 

Pitifully I cannot say much about this one, I don't know age of the mouse nor the strain [but is highly possible that it is B6]. I spent huge time at Mouse Brain Atlas but I'm still unsure about age features of this specimen. Anyway, enjoy nicely visible Purkinje cells between molecular and granular layer in cerebellum - one of largest neurons in brain. 

Here is some hint what is visible and which part of brain is on the picture. 

cca 45x 125x enlarged , H&E, taken with Carl Zeiss Jenaval.
