Kidney cells. Confocal fluorescence light micrograph of cultured kidney cells. Antibody- linked dyes have been used to stain tubulin (green),actin (red) and Golgi protein (blue). Tubulin and actin are proteins of the cytoskeleton,the internal framework of a cell involved in cell movement and transport of substances. Golgi proteins are part of the Golgi apparatus,a system of compartments involved in sorting cell products. A confocal microscope only detects light from the focal point of its objective lens. By moving the focal point,images of thin sections of an intact specimen can be obtained. Magnification unknown | |
