Mouse brain cancer cells grown on a petri dish

These are 2D mouse neuroblastoma cells cultured on a petri dish. Here we visualize protein Tubulin (cyan) which makes a cell's skeletal framework and mitochondria (red) which is the energy producing organelle of the cells. These images were taken on a super-resolution microscope at a magnification of 100X.
