Figure. 19.

Fluorescently labeled cytoskeleton of three different types of adhering cells with actin marked in red and MTs marked in green. (a) Fish keratocytes, (b) fibroblast, and (c) neuronal growth cone. These three cell types illustrate the large diversity of cytoskeletal architectures which is likely to result in very different mechanical characteristics. The cytoskeleton architecture of the respective cells is further illustrated below the fluorescence images. Similar figure already appeared in [372].
