Counterion-induced formation of aster-based actin bundle networks in confined droplets. Left side: snapshots showing the transition from an actin filament solution (at dt = 0 s) to a stable actin bundle network following a slight increase in counterions above their critical concentration for inducing filament aggregation. Right side: aster-based bundle networks obtained by counterion-condensation appear highly regular regarding the average aster distances. Images were taken using confocal microscopy (left side) and epi-fluorescence microscopy (right side). Figure was adapted from [144].
