About the Image

Light micrograph of marsupial kidney epithelial cells that have been fixed and stained to visualize the cytoskeleton. Microtubules radiate throughout the cytopasm (green staining) and are actin filaments (red stain) especially prominant at cell-cell junctions. Micrograph taken by Carey Fagerstrom from Pat Wadsworth's lab.
