Merged confocal image of fiber cells immediately inside the border of the OFZ after staining with DiOC₆ (green) and SYTO 17 (red). The combination of these fluorescent probes allows the simultaneous visualization of the fiber cell membranes (DiOC₆) and nuclear DNA (SYTO 17). At this point in fiber cell differentiation, the nuclei have collapsed into condensed spherical structures. Remnants of the nuclear membrane are still visible (arrowheads), attached to the naked chromatin. The highly interdigitated lateral membranes of the fiber cells are also evident. Bar, 5 μm.
