3D image of actin in a cell. Actin is an essential protein in a cell’s skeleton (cytoskeleton). It forms a dense network of thin filaments in the cell. Here, researchers used a technique called stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) to visualize the actin network in a cell in three dimensions.
