From a series of confocal sections of the honeybee antennal lobe, we created a digital atlas. This atlas is convenient for the localization and the identification of glomeruli. It is based on the nomenclature introduced by Flanagan&Mercer, 1989. Details are published in:

C. Giovanni Galizia, Sabrina L. McIlwrath, and Randolf Menzel (1999). "A digital three-dimensional atlas of the honeybee antennal lobe glomeruli based on optical sections acquired using confocal microscopy." Cell and Tissue Research, 295:383-394.

The Value Atlas consists of a voxelated volume, where the gray-level value of each voxel represents its glomerular identity. The Names Atlas consists of a series of 87 sections. In each section, the identity of each glomerulus is given as explicit text. The atlas was created from a series of confocal microscope images which are also available here in Quicktime movie format.
