Description

Actin fiber organization in primary keratinocyte. There are numerous actin arcs around the periphery of the cell and actin bundles that terminate in focal adhesions (bright structures perpendicular to edge).

Technical Details

Image collected on a Zeiss Axiovert 200M microscope using a 63X 1.4 NA objective. Image was contrast stretched using Image J.
