Confocal reflection microscopy of collagen in compacting collagen gels. High magnification (40 ×) confocal images of fluorescence (cells) and reflection (collagen). Representative images from 8 to 24 h range, columns (left-right)—edge detached, center detached, and edge attached. Alignment of collagen with cells is visible in images of cells at detached edge. Radial organization around cell boundary is clearly seen in images of the attached edges. Collagen surrounding cells in the center of detached gels exhibits radial organization. Scale bar = 1 μm
