Distinguishing the three major types of blood vessel. Frozen mouse brain sections were triple-labelled with the endothelial cell marker CD31 (AlexaFluor-488), laminin-111 (Cy5), and α-SMA (Cy3). Scale bar = 100 μm. Note that CD31 labels all vessel types (capillaries, arterioles and venules), laminin-111 labels only the larger diameter vessels (including arterioles and venules), but not capillaries, and the smooth muscle cell marker α-SMA labels specifically arterioles
