Both sets of axons were tied off, and are now pinned to the dish.	The ends of the cut post-synaptic axons are pinned out.	The final preparation.
A close up view of the ganglion.	Here some of the pre-synaptic axons have been colored orange.
The preparation in the recording dish. The arrow shows the ganglion. Presynaptic axon bundle is running approximately vertically from the ganglion; postsynaptic bundle is running approximately horizontally from the ganglion.
