LungTissueCreighton

Fluorescent images of lung tissue taken with a NikonTi85  microscope. The second and third row of each panel are close-up sections taken from the top row (indicated in the boxes). Blue, nuclear stain. Red, fluorescent tagged antibody to non-erythroid spectrin. Green, fluorescent tagged antibody to type 4D4 phosphodiesterase. Merge, overlay of the different images.
