Description

Total internal reflection (TIRF) micrograph of MDCK cells stably transfected with the apical membrane protein P75-GFP (green) and with its sorting receptor Galectin-3-dsRed (red) in close proximity or inside the apical plasma membrane.

Technical Details

Cells were grown for 5 days prior to imaging with apical TIRF microscopy. Image collected using a True MultiColor Laser TIRF Leica AM TIRF MC.
