Severing of budded yeast. Amoebae (D. discoideum) were plated with yeast (S. cerevisiae) in a glass bottom chamber and viewd by confocal microscopy. The amoebae were expressing mRFP-LimEdelta (red) to...

Chick embryos have been used for the developmental study of vertebrates. However, the continuous and long-term observation of the same embryo is difficult, because development tends to be interrupted ...

Time-lapse microscopy of mouse oocytes injected with a cRNA encoding YFP-TPX2 (targeting protein for Xenopus kinesin-like protein, xklp2), expressed at high levels. Up is the transmitted light and bot...

Light micrograph of a 'semithin' section (1.5 µm thick) of the dermis layer of skin from a monkey. The upper left side shows an area of (empty) fat cells surrounded by collagen fibers. The lower righ...

Light micrograph of a longitudinal section of the epididymis. The lining of the duct consists of pseudostratified epithelial cells, which have prominent microvilli on their free surface extending in...

A live amoeba treated with the membrane-binding vital dye FM4-64 which stains the plasma membrane, contractile vacuole and other organelles. Large membrane-bounded organelles are excluded from the bro...

To characterize and validate the gluteraldehyde fixation method, a live amoeba syringe-loaded with Rhodamine-N58C-profilin-II was monitored in a flow cell as the fixative was introduced. This time se...

Mouse hind limb tibialis anterior (TA) muscles were injected with BaCl2 followed by daily systemic administration of rapamycin (Rap) starting 7 days after injury. The animals were sacrificed at differ...

Calcium and Cleavage Furrows, animal pole view. Fertilized zebrafish eggs were collected within 5 min of spawning, enzymatically dechorionated, and injected with approximately 0.9 nl of a 1% solution...
