Description
Fluorescently-labeled actin from chicken muscle. Actin is a protein involved in muscle contraction and cell movement. Purified actin can form loose bundles that self-organize into regular patterns. Image captured using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy. Honorable Mention, 2010 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition®.
