The powerhouse of our cells, mitochondria (green), and the genetic information in our cells, DNA (purple), videoed in a cancer cell with three nuclei using a microscope.

Microtubules (blue) love actin filaments (red). Microtubules are sad when you take away the actin (as in the start of this movie). But when you give actin back, you get happy growing microtubules once again.

The is a single cell as seen through a microscope. Actin filaments (purple), mitochondria (blue) the nucleus (orange) are shown. The excitation light caused phototoxicity. Does anyone know how I figure that out?

Three mouse fibroblast cells photographed using structured illumination #microscopy. DNA, mitochondria and actin filaments are shown using multiple color schemes. #CellBiology
The powerhouses of a cell, mitochondria, as seen with “instant” structured illumination microscopy (iSIM). They have much more personality than the static bean-like cartoons in your textbook. #CellBiology
Immune System Drama
A neutrophil chasing down a bacterium as seen through a microscope. It’s the “Citizen Kane” of microscopy filmed by David Rogers in the 1950’s. #CellBiology@VUBasicSciences
