Actin cytoskeleton, confocal light micrograph
Confocal light micrograph of a fibroblast-like cell extracted from the African green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops). The cell is expressing a fluorescent protein that labels actin filaments, which make up part of the cytoskeleton purple. The cytoskeleton maintains the cell's shape, allows some cellular mobility and is involved in intracellular transport. The green areas are the location of endocytic events, where substances from outside are taken inside the cell. These events are marked by another fluorescence protein.
