Description: Movie showing the dynamics of kinetchore microtubules during meiosis II in primary spermatocytes of the crane-fly Nephrotoma suturalis that were experimentally flattened. Time-lapse polarization microscopy using a Nikon Microphot SA, equipped for liquid crystal polarized light microscopy (LC-PolScope, CRi, Woburn Massachusetts) 60x/1.4 PlanApo oil immersion objective, 1.4 NA oil imm. condenser, with 2.0x zoom lens. Images captured every 15 sec using a QImaging Retigo EXi CCD camera. Raw images were processed using 5-frame algorithm (Shribak and Oldenbourg, 2003). The time series used for the movie is included in this grouped set.

Description: We examined the structural organization of cytoskeletal components and membrane systems in neurons of well preserved biopsy material from Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Information was obtained from thin sectioned material using conventional electron microscopy and from thick sections with the high voltage electron microscope. Stereo viewing and computer assisted serial reconstruction techniques were employed to visualize three-dimensional relationships among cytoplasmic components of cortical neurons.

Description: Imaging an HIV infected dendritic cell reveals numerous viral particles at the tips of filopodia. Actin-based membrane extensions from the dendritic cell are phallodin stained (red). HIV particles (white) decorate the filopodial terminal ends. To label viral particles, a construct containing eGFP at the C-terminus of HIV matrix was expressed. The nucleus of the cell is stained with DAPI and is represented in cyan.

**CIL:34603** - http://cellimagelibrary.org/images/34603
**Description**: A cross section of cilium through the cilium-basal body complex extending from the cilium to the transition zone between the cilium and basal body and ending at the proximal tip of the basal body. In cross section the 9 + 2 axoneme of the cilium stands out. The plasma membrane covers the axoneme and is continuous with the plasma membrane covering the cell body. Each doublet tilts inward to the tangent of the axonemal cylinder. Two arms, an inner arm and outer arm, extend from the complete microtubule of each doublet. These arms have ATPase activity and are called dyneins. They cause one doublet to slide against the adjacent doublet. Other protein links, like the spokes, in the axoneme are elastic and induce the characteristic bending of the cilium and prevent excess sliding as the doublets slide past each other.
