Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Confocal microscopy

Starting Material

Fixed Neuro2a cells

Tips

Acetone:methanol (1:1) fixation gives better resolution of mitochondrial morphology.

Results Summary

The images shows mitochondrial morphology in Neuro2a cells. Nucleus is stained by DAPI (blue). Digitally zoomed section is shown as inset.
