The TN device consists of the twisted nematic liquid crystal confined between two glass substrates with homogeneous planar orientation: the orientation of the director n on one substrate is rotated by 90 o with respect to n on another substrate.
Myelinating Schwann cells begin to form the myelin sheath in mammals during fetal development and work by spiraling around the axon, sometimes with as many as 100 revolutions. A well-developed Schwann cell is shaped like a rolled-up sheet of paper, with layers of myelin in between each coil. The inner layers of the wrapping, which are predominantly membrane material, form the myelin sheath while the outermost layer of nucleated cytoplasm forms the neurolemma.
