Repost - Eye Candy

I'm away in California - while I'm gone, I'm reposting all these old entries on microscopy, enjoy!

Here's a micrograph of a fibroblast (connective tissue cell) adherring to fibronectin coated coverslip. The cell was immunostained for regular microtubules (red) and modified detyrosinated microtubules (green, although since these are only partialy modified red+green = yellow).

You can find almost anything on Youtube. Here is a video from Nikon (maker of great microscopes) of mouse fibroblasts (connective tissue cells) dividing and migrating around a coverslip. Ah, this is why I became a cell biologist. Look at those guys go! (And to think that some would call them bags…
(OK folks I'll be back this afternoon, this post is the last in serries of entries from my old blogs ... and this one is a hard core science entry from about 1 year ago ... enjoy) Late last week I posted an entry on tubulin modification ... an area of research that one well respected cytoskeletal…
Today I will be coming back from our little camping trip (hopefully!) Until I get back to my labtop, I'll entertain you with another post on microscopy. Flipping through Nature, I stumbled onto this commentary: The good, the bad and the ugly. Here's a taste: To correctly capture images using a…

Nice. Got a hi-res version?

Sure, when I get back east (next week) I'll dig through my files and get the original.

Thanks. Look forward to it.
