The protocol provided here uses multicolor labeling based on in utero electroporation to single out cortical astrocytes and analyze their volume and morphology with a user-friendly image analysis pipeline.

It focuses on retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in the peripapillary region, with several scanning and quantifying approaches described.
