A live root tip of Arabidopsis. Plasma membrane labeling with FM 1-43 simultaneously scanned with DIC using a Zeiss 510 confocal microscope. | Arabidopsis guard cell labeled with GFP targeted to the membrane. Rendered with Volocity 2.6.1. | Rendered with T3D |
Please note that these images are not intended as a comparison of Volocity and T3D. Several factors including transparency and threshold are not equivalent. |

Tight Junctions are Disrupted in Epithelial Cells Expressing an Altered ZO-1 Transgene. A Madine-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cell line expressing a myc-tagged ZO-1 transgene was fixed in Ethanol/Acetone and stained with antisera against the c-myc epitope tag (Cy2-green), the transmembrane protein occludin (Cy3-red), and an antiserum specific for the canine ZO-1 (Cy5-blue). The cells were imaged with a 100X PlanApo lens on the Zeiss 510 LSC Microscope using the Meta detector. Note that the transgene (red) forms large ectopic structures distinct from the normal circumferential distribution of the endogenous ZO-1 polypeptide (blue), and that the transmembrane protein occludin is also recruited into these extopic structures (green). | |
