Fluorescence micrograph of a neuron regenerating in culture. Honorable Mention, 2006 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition.

Toxicysts in the cytoplasm of cross sectioned non-dividing Didinium. Toxicysts (extrusomes) are multilayered cylinders that are discharged from the cytopharynx region during capture of prey such as Pa...

In quick-freeze deep-etch micrographs it is not easy to distinguish peroxisomes from surrounding organelles. The organelle at the top of this micrograph may be a peroxisome based on its finely granula...

Fluorescent micrograph of a Xenopus melanophore, showing microtubules (green), microtubule plus ends (red) and nucleus (blue). Honorable Mention, 2011 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition®...

Figs. 311 & 312 from Don Fawcett's Chapter 12 (Centrioles). In ciliogenesis, newly formed single centrioles, serving as basal bodies, are arranged in rows and oriented perpendicular to the cell surfac...

Quick-freeze deep-etch rotary-shadowed replica of an early endosome with two clathrin-coated evaginations. Presumably these coated pits contain receptors for cargo that will be pinched off from the ea...

Vesicles and early endosomes under the membranelles of the peniculus of the buccal cavity. Cilia and basal bodies are tangentially fractured in this quick-freeze deep-etch preparation. Preendosomal ve...

A high resolution image of the cortex of Paramecium consists of a plasma membrane and alveolar sacs, with their inner and outer alveolar membranes that limit the area in which endocytosis can easily o...

Human primary keratinocyte spreading on an asymmetric "arc"-shaped collagen I micropattern. The cells are stained for the focal adhesion protein vinculin (green, Alexa488), F-Actin (red, TRITC phallo...

Confocal image of "Brainbow" mouse cerebral cortex. In Brainbow mice, neurons randomly choose combinations of red, yellow and cyan fluorescent proteins, so that they each glow a particular color. Thi...
