Quantification of fluorescence intensity was performed using Zeiss ZEN-2 software. Fluorescence intensity as a function of imaging depth was determined by measuring the median signal intensity at z-stack imaging depths (rat: 1500 μm, mouse: 500 µm). The fluorescence signals of single z-stack images were measured as integrated density, using ImageJ software [National Institutes of Health (NIH), MD, United States]. The mean values of the green fluorescence signal of single z-stack images were calculated. The median fluorescence intensity (%) and integrated density (%) were normalized to the intensity of the most superficial slide.
