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...

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...

Hela cells transiently transfected with EGFP-GL-GPI show the organization of the membrane thru the distribution of GPI anchored protein. This image is the maximum z projection image that accompanies...

Actin dynamics in a Rac1(Q61L)-expressing PtK1 cell injected with Pak inhibitory fragment PBD/ID(H83L). Fast retrograde flow still occurs in the lamellipodium, but the width of the lamellipodium is re...

Movie shows spindle assembly around DNA-beads in a Xenopus laevis egg extract. DNA beads are autofluorescent, and spindle is formed from exogenous X-rhodamine-labeled tubulin. By the end of the movie...

The events of meiosis I in a living insect spermatocyte beginning at metaphase with bivalents at the spindle equator, followed by anaphase onset, chromosome segregation and the start of cytokinesis. T...

Figures 206 (upper) and 207 (lower) from Chapter 6 (Golgi Apparatus) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. During development of the acrosome in the chinchilla spermatid, the transitional zon...
