This is a picture of a cell stained with an antibody to microtubules. The cells were treated with taxol and the antibody was applied attaching directly to the stabilized microtubules (they are held in the polymerized position) and are visible by a fluorescent dye. The orange is a dye that stains the DNA, propidium iodide. I USED TO DO A LOT OF CYTOLOGY, THIS IS MY FAVORITE PICTURES TO TAKE!!!
