Collageless collages - photographic reconstructions, the easy way, of neurons and other extended objects.
A small, movable aperture placed at or near the Köhler field diaphragm location of a light microscope permits making composite high contrast, high clarity photographs of objects, such as Golgi stained neurons, whose extensions in depth are greater than the depth of field of the microscope's objective. The technique is described.
