Microtubules (green) fighting retrograde actin flow (magenta) in a neuronal growth cone videoed through a TIRF microscope. #CellBiology
The newest episode of Nikon's Small World Speaks.
"Dylan Burnette (that's me) shares some of the stories behind one of his favorite images he's submitted to the Nikon Small World competition to date." #CellBiology
Actin filament-based structures in a cell photographed using structured illumination microscopy. The video starts with the bottom of the cell and steps up through the Z dimension (i.e., going up from the substrate). #CellBiology

A dividing cell videoed through a microscope. Hot tip: Don't mess around with myosin II paralogs if you don't want your cells to freak out. #CellBiology

The inside of a heart muscle cell photographed with an electron microscope. The powerhouses/overlords of the cell, mitochondria, are shown in pink. The repeating structures are the basic units of contraction that drive each heart beat (i.e., sarcomeres). #CellBiology
This was my first journal cover from back in the day. It shows the side of a neuronal growth cone photographed with an electron microscope. The microtubules (green) were labeled with nanoscale particles of colloidal gold bound to antibodies (i.e., immunogold). #CellBiology
Immature heart muscle cells photographed through a microscope. Nuclei (yellow/green) and the molecular motor driving muscle contraction, myosin II (purple/blue), are shown. #CellBiology

The heart of a zebrafish embryo photographed through a microscope. (Ventricle: Left; Atrium: Right). The nuclei of both the heart cells and blood cells are shown. "What? Red blood cells do not have nuclei!", you say. So human centric of you......

Neuronal growth cones at the end of neurites (immature neural extensions that have yet to turn into axons or dendrites) videoed through a microscope. #CellBiology
