Figure Lengend Snippet: Five samples were shown. Aβ was stained with green fluorescence while MAP2 was stained with red fluorescence. Microaneurysms were clearly identified with Phase Contrast microscopy. The average Aβ staining intensity in microaneurysms is around 3.03±0.97 (N=5) times of the average Aβ intensity of the immediate tissue environment. White dashed lines indicated the regions of microaneurysms. White arrows point to neighboring neurons with MAP2 immunostaining. Yellow dashed lines indicated two long neurites showing beading type degenerative MAP2 staining. Scale bar, 50 µm.
