Figure 3. The F-actin cytoskeleton (green) of stereociliary bundles is detected with Alexa 488–phalloidin fluorescence in the Xenopus laevis otic vesicle. A–D: Arrows point to stereociliary bundles in confocal images of cryosections from stages 31 (A), 37 (B), 42 (C), and 45 (D). Propidium iodide counterstain (red) labels RNA (cytosol) and DNA (nuclei). Scale bar = 50 μm.Download figure to PowerPoint Image published in: Quick QA and Serrano EE (2005) Copyright © 2005.
