Confocal Microscopic Image of Lens Tissue
Caption: A confocal microscopic image of a sheet of lens tissue stained to highlight the relationship between cells and the cytoskeleton that connects them. The dark areas in the image represent the cells of the tissue. The light areas around the cells represent areas where the staining reveals protein concentration in connective actin filaments. Scientists and students at Morehouse School of Medicine use the confocal microscope to study intracellular activity and the relationship between cells.
