Wish there were coordinates I could point to, but being things as they
are I will just have to describe the situation:
Magnify section 0205 until the scale bar measures at most 184
micrometers. Below the Vermis on this section, the posterior margin of
the molecular layer of the bottom hemisphere forms a "U" leaning to
the right, the right arm of which points to the plexus choroideus on
the top right of it and is fatter than the left one. The inside of
this U, which represents the outside of the molecular layer, you will
see lined with Purkinje cells. And on the right side of this right arm
you will see fairly large cells (diam. ca. 23 microns), which due to
their size I interpret to be neurons and not Glia, nearly touching the
molecular layer.
Alternatively, in section 0254 of this series you can see what
doubtlessly are the deep nuclei approaching the molecular layer on its
inside to a distance of about 400 microns.
