Watch time-lapse movies or focus through thick
specimens on the confocal microscope!
NOTE: These movies are in the Macromedia
Flash format. Most web browsers already have the needed plugin, but if
you can't see the movies, click here

Bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial
cells which have been dual labeled with a red stain for actin microfilaments
(Rhodamine Phalloidoin) and a green fluorescent antibody against microtubules.
These are the same cells as shown above, however the microtubules are found
dispersed in the cytoplasm where they form an important part of the cytoskeleton. |

Basal region of an Arabidopsis
root expressing GFP targetted to the vacuolar membrane. Obtained from ABRC
stock center, stock number CS84727, as part of the Ehrhardt
GFP collection. |

Arabidopsis leaf epidermis
expressing GFP fused to an aquaporin that localizes to the plasma membrane
(ABRC stock no. CS84758). A stoma is readily apparent at the lower right
of the image. The "jigsaw" cells are known as pavement cells and
make up the bulk of the cells of the epidermis. |

Bovine pulmonary arterial
endothelial cells which have been dual labeled with a green fluorescent
antibody against tubulin and a red antibody against actin. Since the mitotic
spindle is composed of tubulin, it stains brightly during mitosis. The chromosomes
are not visible, but would be at the center of this image. |

Arabidopsis root expressing
GFP targetted to an unknown subcellular location (ABRC stock no. CS84729).
Some appears to be localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. A root hair,
formed by localized tip growth of an epidermal cell, is apparent in the
middle of the image. |

Bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial
cells which have been dual labeled with a green stain for actin microfilaments
(FITC-Phalloidoin) and a red stain for mitochondria. The stain for actin
is actually derived from a toxic compound found in mushrooms. The stain
for mitochondria is interesting because it only becomes fluorescent when
the stain is activated by enzymes which reside in the mitochondria. For
this reason, only the mitochondria appear red, not the other organelles. |
